Intercessions ~ Feast of Corpus Christi


Corpus Christi Procession ~ Grodno, Belarus


As the new month of June begins,/ we pray for those who celebrate birthdays,/ anniversaries and other days of remembrance,/ asking for good health,/ safety and peace./ We pray to the Lord.

In the Eucharist,/ God continues to walk with us in our human vulnerability./ We pray for the weakest among us/ or who in their frailty/ are alone or without supports./ We pray to the Lord.

The month of June is traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus./ We pray for those who have no love or friendship in their lives./ For those we do not love rightly or at all./ We pray to the Lord.

For those of good-heart who come to the rescue wherever there is fire,/ flood,/ terrorist attack,/ or disaster of any kind./ For those who staff hospitals/ or who rush to help others in emergencies./ We pray to the Lord.

For the safety of summer travelers./ For the well-being of our families and friends,/ especially those who are stressed,/ in any kind of trouble or difficulty,/ who live with addictions,/ pain or sickness./ We pray to the Lord.

Preserve us as a decent and good people,/ freed of racism and the phobias and hatreds that weaken the nation./ Grant that those who lead us/ would pattern honesty,/ service,/ solidarity/ progress for all/ and the healing of divisions./ We pray to the Lord.
