You bring us the fullness of life.
You emptied yourself in your death on the cross
You rose from the dead and you lives forever
The martyr St Lawrence trusted in your word. In that same spirit of trust, we bring our prayers to you.
1. For the Church, champion of the persecuted, for steadfast faith in time of trial and suffering.
2. For justice in our communities and in our nations, for humane treatment of prisoners and the accused, for a spirit of unity and healing and respect.
3. For an end to violence, war, and terrorism, for the safety of those who serve and protect us.
4. For those struggling with past hurts and addictions in their lives, for reconciliation and forgiveness.
5. For healing for the sick and shut-ins; for those in the hospice, hospitals, and nursing homes.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed and the souls in purgatory, for their eternal life with God.
God of truth, St Lawrence and all your martyrs were faithful until death. Hear the prayers we make in the name of your son Jesus Christ - our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
