With the whole
people of God in Christ Jesus, let us pray for the church, those in need and
all of God’s creation.
Lord, you are the
good shepherd and we the church are your flock. Help us Lord to follow your will and your Word in every walk
of life; together serving in your mission to the world and sharing your love with
those who cross our path each day.
Lord in your mercy, hear our
prayer.
Lord, you know each
of us by name. You know our
hearts. Forgive us Lord for our
selfishness and thank you for showing us what is good. Help us to act justly; to stand up and
become advocates for the oppressed:
for the poor, the orphaned, the enslaved and those without the voice to
fight for themselves.
Lord in your
mercy, hear our prayer.
Lord, we have done
nothing to deserve your mercy, yet you give it freely. Help us Lord to be merciful to
others. O faithful shepherd keep
watch over the sick, the lonely and those who are suffering. Today we pray especially for the
victims of the Nepal earthquake and those coming to their aid; the family of Sally
Evangelisti whose father passed away this past week; the 8th grade
confirmands who are on their retreat this weekend. Help us to take comfort in the knowledge that you know each
and every sorrow. Bring us your
comfort and cover us with your peace.
Lord in your mercy, hear our
prayer.
As we go out
through these doors today and fall into the daily routines of our lives, help
us to walk humbly with you Lord.
Strengthen our families, bless our community and help us to shed your
light into this world that you created.
Lord in your mercy, hear our
prayer.
Into your hands,
gracious God, we commend all who we pray, trusting in your mercy; through Jesus
Christ, our Savior. And we all say
together, Amen.
