- For the Church: that we may recognize the length and depth of God’s love for us and reach out to all who have become estranged from God or the Christian Community
We pray to the Lord.
- For the grace of repentance: that we may recognize from whom we have wandered and turn towards the Good Shepherd’s outstretched arms or forgiveness
We pray to the Lord.
- For the grace to forgive: that the love of God will free our hearts to forgive all who have injured us
We pray to the Lord.
- For the ministers of the Gospel: that they may spend themselves in seeking out and searching for the alienated, estranged and despairing so that they may share the Good News of God’s love and mercy
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill: may God heal them in their need. Let us pray especially for those whose names have been placed on our altar.
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who have died: may God’s love and forgiveness give them eternal rest.
