Prayers of the Faithful
by Luke O'Donnell

Celebrant: Contemplating upon Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we pray for our needs, through the Holy Trinity, of Godhead three in one.

Reader:

1 For all God's people, the Church, and for those with no path to follow, and for others who seek the way. Lord, in your mercy R Hear our prayer.

2 For those who work to keep our fragile world safe, for all who guide the young and protect the weak. Lord, in your mercy R Hear our prayer.

3 For ourselves and Christian brothers and sisters: may the Holy Spirit help us in our efforts to live like Christ, and so do the will of the Father in our lives. Lord, in your mercy R Hear our prayer.

4 For the unifying love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit: may the Trinitarian Godhead draw together in mutual harmony the people of our Parish. Lord, in your mercy R Hear our prayer.

5 For those who are sick, N. and N. and those who have asked our prayers: may those who care for them be a source of comfort and strength and support. We pray also for those who have died: may they too enjoy the fullness of life in God's heavenly kingdom. Lord, in your mercy R Hear our prayer.

6 We ask Mary, Mother of our Saviour, to support us with her prayers: 'Hail Mary…'

Celebrant: Trinitarian Godhead, hear our prayers and endow us with your love. Clothe us with the grace of your Son, Jesus Christ, and unite us in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. We ask this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one eternal God, now and forevermore. Amen.
