III. Prayer of Intercession

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2635
Since Abraham, intercession – asking on behalf of another has been
characteristic of a heart attuned to God’s mercy. In the age of the Church,
Christian intercession participates in Christ’s, as an expression of the
communion of saints. In intercession, he who prays looks “not only to his
own interests, but also to the interests of others,” even to the point of
praying for those who do him harm.¹¹⁵
