Message
Prayer: For all Christians throughout the world, that each person may be a servant of Christ, truly and faithfully, Lord we pray. (Sometimes followed by a response such as Lord have mercy, or Lord, hear our prayer.)
Renew your peace in our hearts, and give us the courage of faith in our daily life, Lord we pray.
Free us from all prejudice and fear, deepen our understanding and our love, Lord we pray.
May those in authority work to establish justice and freedom in their countries and throughout the world, Lord we pray.
Show us the way to bring your compassion to the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the unloved, Lord we pray.
For all who are striving to follow in the steps of Christ, and for those who are longing for the gift of faith, Lord we pray.
For those who seek to be bearers of friendship to young and old, across the age-barriers, Lord we pray.
For all who are in prison, condemned, or exiled from their home, Lord we pray.
For parents and teachers and all those entrusted with the care of children and young people, Lord we pray.
Forgive those who oppress us or distort our best intentions; forgive us also and remedy our acts of injustice. Lord, hear us we pray.
For all, through addiction, have lost their health and freedom, give those who care for them patient understanding and a persevering love, Lord we pray.
Console those who are bereaved or in sorrow, Lord we pray.
God our Maker, you care for us and know all our needs, may we rest in your love. Amen. ( a prayer from the Taize community)
