Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you were born of the Virgin Mary - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are the son of the Father - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you declare the Good News of the Gospel - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: Through the faithful obedience of the holy Virgin Mary, God takes flesh among us. The mystery of the Incarnation calls us to pray through the incarnate Son to our loving Father.
1. That the Church may be seen as extending the Incarnation as the working body of Jesus Christ here on earth.
2. That people of goodwill may learn that Christ has united himself to every person in taking our human nature.
3. That we may all follow the Gospel of Life through our words and actions, respecting all human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
4. That we may always reverence and protect the unborn infant.
5. That mothers carrying children in the womb will welcome the new life as Mary welcomed her Son.
6. For the sick and shut-in, for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, and for those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Father of the Incarnate Word, we bring our intentions before you, the fabric of our daily lives, made holy by your Son, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
