GIRM No. 69 "In the Universal Prayer or Prayer of the Faithful, the people respond in some sense to the Word of God which they have received in faith and, exercising the office of their baptismal Priesthood, offer prayers to God for the salvation of all." Also known as petitions, prayers of the faithful, or general intercessions.  We take this time during Mass to pray for the Church, the world, those in need, and our deceased family and friends. View our petitions for this coming weekend - pray them at home with your family before coming to Mass this weekend.
