In joyful expectation of the day of Christ Jesus to come, let us pray:
That in our parish’s prayer and work together we may create a highway for our God: let us pray to the Lord.
That our bishops, priests, and deacons and all who serve and minister to the Church may be heralds of God’s presence among us: let us pray to the Lord.
That those in government and public service may be instruments of the mercy and justice of God: let us pray to the Lord.
That the Churches of Christendom may be “rich in the harvest of justice”: let us pray to the lord.
That those who have been displaced from their homes by war, famine, disease, or disaster may return in joy and safety to their families: let us pray to the Lord.
That the poor, the struggling, and those who have lost hope may, through our compassionate help and support, remove their “robe of mourning and misery” and put on the hope and peace of the Messiah: let us pray to the Lord.
That those who have died [especially _________] may rejoice forever in the city of God: let us pray to the Lord.
That God, in mercy and peace, will hear the prayers we now make in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.
Lord God, hear the prayers of your people who anxiously await your coming. Help us to straighten the crooked roads of our lives so that we might create a highway for you to enter our homes and hearts with the peace of Christ Jesus, your Son, in whose name we offer you these prayers.
