Intercession involves us in the deepest of relationships for it involves us not only with god but with all of his creation as we express our love and trust in him, our love and concern for each other and for the whole world.

  Most of the intercessions in the this book follow a simple structure: We pray in turn for the Church, the world, our families and friends, the ill and suffering, and the departed.The prayers are offered as an aid and are not meant to replace your own prayers. Arranged in themed sections and with a handly topical index, they are suitable for Church workship, smaller gatherings or individual devotion.
