Prayer of the Faithful

UNIVERSAL PRAYER. (Prayer of the Faithful)

That our Church leaders will be devoted to the pastoral and spiritual needs of all in this time of anxiety.       (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

That in this time of international crisis, people will discover anew the importance of faith, and the consolation of knowing God’s love.        (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

That those affected by the coronavirus - the sick, the unemployed, and those whose businesses are on the verge of collapse, find strength and practical support at this difficult time.        (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

That we as a Parish Community will value friendships and remain faithful to our friends especially in their time of greatest need.       (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

That our brothers and sisters throughout the world who are denied their basic human rights will receive respect, justice and assistance.        (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

That those who have died - the members of our families and parish, as well as victims of the coronavirus throughout the world – may rest in the peace of Christ.        (Pause).  Lord Hear us.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
