May 28th, 2018 - Most Holy Trinity
|
|
The Eucharistic Prayer is the summit of all liturgical prayer. It is the heartbeat of the church. In the Doxology, which concludes this great prayer of thanks and praise, we give all glory and honor to the Father, through with and in the Son in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
-Fr. Charles E. Miller, CM ‘The Eight Beatitudes of the Eucharistic Prayer’

INTERCESSIONS
The intercessions were an important part of the liturgy of the early church, but dropped out of the Roman Rite around the 6th century. They survived at certain key moments in the Church’s year – most notably the solemn intercessions on Good Friday. The intercessions were restored through the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and follow a set pattern as we pray for the needs of the universal Church, for public authorities and the salvation of the world, for those experiencing difficulties of various kinds, and finally for the local community.
