To God, the Giver of life and the Author of all holiness, let us offer our prayers:
That, through our work and worship together, our parish community may be a light to our world: let us pray to the Lord.
That those who proclaim the gospel through their ministries of teaching, healing, and charity may bring sight to those who are blind to the life of God and liberation to those imprisoned by darkness: let us pray to the Lord.
That the nations and peoples of the world may work together for the “victory of justice”: let us pray to the Lord.
That we may be always faithful to our covenant with God, a covenant sealed in the waters of our baptism: let us pray to the lord.
That the sick and the suffering, the poor and the forgotten, the lost and the troubled may find hope in the “good news of peace”: let us pray to the Lord.
That those who have died [especially _________], may rise to the new life of the Risen Christ: let us pray to the Lord.
That the God of mercy and kindness will hear the prayers we now offer in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.
Lord of all creation, you have raised us to new life through water and the Spirit. May your Spirit of justice and peace always rest upon us so that we may dedicate ourselves to the work of the prayers, we have offered. In Jesus’ name, we pray.
