Mass of Christian Burial for Archbishop Emeritus Philip Wilson DD JCL - Flipbook - Page 22
Intercessions
Archbishop:
For our brother, Philip, let us pray to our
Lord Jesus Christ, who said, ‘I am the
resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me shall live even in
death and whoever lives and believes in me
shall never die.’
Reader:
Lord, you consoled Martha and Mary in their
distress; draw near to us who mourn for
Philip, and dry the tears of those who weep.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.

You wept at the grave of Lazarus, your
friend; comfort us in our sorrow.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
You raised the dead to life; give to our
brother, Philip, eternal life.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
You promised paradise to the repentant
thief; bring Philip to the joys of heaven.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
Our brother, Philip, was washed in baptism
and anointed with the Holy Spirit; give him
fellowship with all your saints.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
Philip was nourished with your body and
blood; grant him a place at the table in your
heavenly kingdom.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
