Lord Jesus - you call us to make a commitment to our faith.
Christ Jesus - you encourage us on our journey.
Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Priest: We present our prayers this morning in faith and love to our heavenly Father:
1. That our Church have a spirit of welcome and hospitality, that all who join us for worship, community, or service may experience the love of Christ and a warm welcome from us.
2. For all who have experienced abuse, discrimination, or hatred in their lives, that God will heal their pain and renew their spirits.
3. For all who work with the poor and homeless, that they may see Christ in those they serve.
4. For those who have been affected by natural disasters, especially those who have been affected by storms, tornados, hurricanes, brush fires, and drought, for healing and recovery.
5. That all world leaders will work toward unity and solidarity, recognizing the dignity of all people. We pray for an end to war and terrorism.
6. For the sick and the shut-in, for those in the hospice, hospital, and nursing home.
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed and those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts this evening.
Priest: We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
