Context/background

Intercessions are prayers of petition – that is, we are asking God for something. Intercessions may take the form of a litany. Intercessions need to be short and simple, placing our needs before an all loving God. They are offered by the whole assembly and are meant to intercede for the needs of the church and the world.
