Let us now offer our prayers in joyful hope to the Lord, who comes to heal us and save us:
That, in our ministries of prayer and charity, our Church and parish may reveal the joy of God’s presence among us: let us pray to the Lord.
That all nations and peoples may confidently and courageously seek the peace of God in every human endeavor: let us pray to the Lord.
That generosity and compassion may be the center of our Advent preparation for the coming of Christ: let us pray to the Lord.
That this Christmas season may be a time of healing and reconciliation with those from whom we are estranged and separated: let us pray to the lord.
That we might bring the life of Christ to the deserts of despair and the parched lands of hopelessness within our homes and communities: let us pray to the Lord.
That all who have died in the peace of Christ [especially _________] may be gathered into the eternal dwelling place of God: let us pray to the Lord.
For the prayers we now make in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.
Gracious God, hear our prayers. May your Spirit come upon us to transform our lives and our world from barrenness to harvest, from sickness to wholeness, from division to completeness, from death to life. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Emmanuel.
