The pope leads general intercessions after a moment of silence following his homily.
(After each petition, the choir sings, Lord Hear Our Prayer)
1. For Pope Benedict, all ministers of the church, and the people they are called to lead and serve. that united in one spirit, they may be true servants of the Gospel
2. For those who serve us in public office that they may come to the aid of those in need.
3. (Given in another language, probably Scottish Gaelic)
4. For an increase in vocations, after the example of St. Ninian, that men and women may serve with love.
5. For our young people, as valued members of the Body of Christ, that they may always choose the path that leads to life
6. For those who have died in the hope of rising again that they may know the hope of God forever.
7. Pope: Father, hear the prayers of your people. We ask you to grant what we have brought you in faith. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Congregation: Amen.
