Lord Jesus - you call us to be faithful.
Christ Jesus - you reach out to the afflicted.
Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Priest: We present our prayers to our God of love and mercy:
1. May God’s spirit be evident in our Church leadership and in our service so that the poor, the marginalized and the victimized.
2. For world leaders and policy makers. May the Spirit of God encourage work that fosters peace and justice in all our communities and in every nation.
3. For a deeper spirit of openness and welcome. That God may give us welcoming hearts that we may acknowledge God’s presence in all people.
4. That our youth may be filled with courage and vision, that they may reshape our world into a place where love is shared and where all people are deeply valued.
5. For all in special need — the sick, addicted, depressed, dying and grieving.
6. For all who suffer with through violence, war or bloodshed.
7. For the prayers we lift up in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
