&nbsp;Surely one of the fundamental duties and joys of being Christians is to bear one another's burdens in prayer, and come in the Spirit of Christ before God our Father, as we plead for the Church and for the world. Such prayer must involve both the mind and the imagination. To pray effectively we. need to stand alongside those for whom we plead. We need to appreciate their hurt and distress, share their anguish, and bring them with us to the healing love of God. The whole Church of Christ, praying like this, releases an immense fund of loving power. It enables the creative love of God to renew, energise, restore and bring to wholeness both the Church and the world. The Intercessions I have suggested flow out of the theme for the day and the readings, so that they will be in harmony with the thoughts and ideas already suggested on any particular day.® from the author's Foreword Subject: Catholic Church -- Liturgy -- Texts; General intercessions; Catholicism Public worship
