The Blue Scapular Prayer Book

109 I ntercessions The intercessions are then said. The celebrant introduces them and an assisting minister or the one of those present announces the intentions. Celebrant: Relying on the intercession of the Virgin Mary Immaculately Conceived, who by the power of the Holy Spirit gave the World our flesh, so that we might share in the grace of our firstborn brother and live for the glory of God, let us pray to the Father, saying: All: God, grant that we may put on Christ. Reader: Father, you willed to have your beloved Son take on our humanity, so that in Him we might share in Your own life; grant that we may be called and truly be Your children. For this we pray. All: God, grant that we may put on Christ. Reader: You wished Christ to be in every respect like us, but without sin, so that in following Him we might share in His filial image; grant that we may follow Christ so as to please You in all things. For this we pray.
