Seminarian Giuseppe here! I have taken my time to write 5 prayers of the faithful you can use for a Birthday Mass. I did this many because I know we might just be in the mood for different things. Nevertheless, these prayers of the faithful were crafted following the instructions of the General Instructions of the Roman Missal. Check out how we write our prayers of the Faithful here!
