Prayers of the faithful - Second Sunday of Advent - Cycle A - 8 December 2019


Penitential Rite: 
Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Father - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you are the Son of David - Christ have mercy. 
Lord Jesus - you are the Son of Mary - Lord have mercy.  

Prayers of the Faithful: 
PRIEST: Let us bring our prayers before God who hears the prayers of those who cry out to him: 
1. For a spirit of repentance among all believers, we pray. 
2. For peace where it is most lacking, especially in places of division, war, terrorism and violence. 
3.  For reconciliation, healing, and forgiveness in our families and in our communities. 
4. For all children and youth in this season of anticipation.  Prayers for a fruitful end to their semester of studies.  For a good effort on their exams.  
5. For the people who are homeless and hungry.  For those struggling with mental illness and depression.  
6. For the sick and the shut in.  For those who need healing in mind, body and spirit.  
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. 
PRIEST:  O God, you hear the poor when they cry to you.  Hear the prayers of all your people that we make today, through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
