Form I of the Intercession is to be said by the Priest alone.

Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church and the world. Almighty and everliving God, who in thy holy Word hast taught us to make prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men: receive these our prayers which we offer unto thy divine majesty, beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord; and grant that all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity and godly love.

Give grace, O heavenly Father, to N., our Pope, to N., our Bishop (or to N., our Ordinary), that they may, both by their life and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments.

And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace, and especially to this congregation here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear and receive thy holy Word, truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life.

We beseech thee also so to rule the hearts of those who bear the authority of government in this and every land (especially N.) , that they may be led to wise decision and right actions for the welfare and peace of the world.

Open, O Lord, the eyes of all people to behold thy gracious hand in all thy works, that, rejoicing in thy whole creation, they may honour thee with their substance, and be faithful stewards of thy bounty,

And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour (N., and ) all those who, in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity.

One or two additional petitions or thanksgivings may be included here.

And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear (especially N.,), beseeching thee to be merciful and grant them fulness of joy in thy love and service; and to grant us grace so to follow the good examples of the Blessed Virgin Mary, (of Saint N.,) and of all thy Saints, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom.

The Priest concludes as follows:

Grant these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our Mediator and Advocate, to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit, be all honour and glory. Amen.

The Mass continues with the Penitential Rite.
