Lord Jesus - you call us to carry our crosses.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim your Good News.
Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Priest: God is full of compassion and mercy. Let us now bring our prayers forward to God with confidence:
1. For the members of the Church: that we praise God in our words and our actions.
2. For our elected officials, that they may lead their people with dignity and respect.
3. For Christians suffering persecution: that they may feel hope and encouragement on their journey.
4. For the sick, especially those who are dangerously ill: that the cross of Christ may bring them comfort and hope. For healing for them in body, mind, and spirit.
5. For those who have died, for their entry into eternal life. We pray especially for those whose lives have been lost through war, famine, and disease.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Compassionate God, as you bring your people salvation, we ask that you hear the prayers we make in faith and hope through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
