Intercessions

From Amanda Bart-Plange

Let us Pray…. Faithful God, we now unite in prayer, as those disciples did on the first Day of Pentecost and open ourselves to receive the very same Holy Spirit.

(Short Silence)  Lord, in your mercy: hear our prayer

Mighty God, we pray that the Church throughout the world and here in The Dioceses of Hackney, may through the power of the Holy Spirit, make the Gospel understandable to all people of whatever their race, language, and culture.   Let each baptised Christian strive to develop more fully their response to all the gifts of the Spirit and use them in the service of our saviour Jesus Christ.

(Short Silence)  Lord, in your mercy: hear our prayer

Creator God, we pray that the Holy Spirit of Peace might help the leaders of nations to seek justice and peace especially in Ukraine. May there be good news for the poor and the broken hearted; release for those illegally or wrongly imprisoned and an end to the conflicts throughout the world which lead to so much grief and mourning.

We pray for all those who are striving to rebuild in places which have been ravaged by war or natural disaster and those who have been forced to flee their homes and are now seeking refuge.                                                                                            

(Short Silence)   Lord, in your mercy: hear our prayer

God, we pray for our communities, that each of us through the Holy Spirit of love might make use of our individual gifts and talents, enabling each church group to flourish as a witness to the “One Body” of the church.  Help us to spread the warmth of Your love to everyone we meet.

(Short Silence)  Lord, in your mercy: hear our prayer

Gracious God, sustain and strengthen, through the Holy Spirit of Healing, the sick and suffering among us. May they be brought to health and wholeness through the mercy of Christ.

Lord, in your mercy: hear our prayer

Merciful God, may the Holy Spirit, who purifies us of sin and raises the dead, bring all our departed loved ones into the fullness of God’s presence. We remember before you God those who have recently departed namely Sharon John  and those whose anniversary fall at this time Alfred Cocking, Dylan Crane, James Franklin, Alice Hackett and Maud Shepherd.

Rest eternal Grant unto them oh lord

Father God, as we move forward into the busy week ahead help us to rejoice in your Holy and Life-Giving Spirit.                                                 Send him again into our hearts, into our lives, and into our world.

Merciful father: accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen
