Preparing the General Intercessions​ - Michael Kwatera, O.S.B.
The praying of the intercessions belongs to all the faithful; thus, it is fitting that the composing of these prayers also belong to the faithful.Published general intercessions, helpful as they may seem, tend to limit creative initiative and take from the general intercessions their timeliness and spontaneity. Preparing the General Intercessions is not a collection of ready to pray intercessions but a guide for preparing them from scratch. Through commentary and samples, this work assists writers in creating intercessions that respond to the specific needs or intentions of the assembly. Here are helpful suggestions for preparing this prayer that bears several names: "universal prayer" or "general intercessions" (because its content is prayer for the needs of the entire world); "solemn prayer" (because of its liturgical importance at the Eucharist); and "prayer of the faithful" (because it is the privileged, priestly prayer of the people of God).

Father Kwatera begins with a study of the general intercessions for the Eucharist, focusing on their history, theology, and pastoral practice. He follows with practical suggestions for preparing them, considering what should or should not be included in the general intercessions, and focuses on the elements (form, response, and concluding prayer) needed for improving intercessory prayer. Sample intercessions complete the work with commentary explaining their composition. Our prayer for others can enlarge our spirits and enlighten our minds so that we may see more of God's will for this world God loves. Through historical survey, theological reflection, and practical suggestions, Father Kwatera provides writers of these prayers with the foundation needed to perform this important task.
