==Origin==
[[Latin]] ''intercedere'', from ''inter''- + ''cedere'' to go
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1597]
==Definition==
*1 : to [[intervene]] between parties with a view to [[reconciling]] [[differences]] : mediate
==Description==
'''Intercession''' is the act of interceding ([[intervening]] or mediating) between two parties. In [[Christian]] religious usage, it is a [[prayer]] to God on behalf of others.
In western forms of Christian [[worship]], intercession forms a distinct form of [[prayer]], alongside [[Adoration]], [[Confession]], and [[Thanksgiving]]. In public worship, intercession is offered as prayer for the world beyond the [[immediate]] vicinity and [[friendship]] networks of the church [[community]]. As such, intercession constitutes part of the [[worshiping]] community's [[engagement]] with [[otherness]], as it expresses Christians' [[solidarity]] with those who are 'other' than themselves. In so doing, a church both appeals to, and seeks to embody, God's own [[love]] for the world.
