THE PRAYERS OF INTERCESSIONPrayers of Intercession – Pentecost II

Let us pray for the whole Church of God in Christ Jesus, for the world, and for all people according to their needs.

(A brief silence)

For all God’s people, marked with the sign of Baptism, that we may boldly bear witness to the world, all that God has done for us in Christ;

and stand firmly against the demonic forces destructive of human life and well-being.Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

For Elizabeth, our Presiding Bishop, and Abraham, the Bishop of our Synod, that they may faithfully guide the churches and ministries entrusted to their care; for all the Pastors of the Church, that they may faithfully preach the Word with power, and preside graciously and reverently at the Lord’s Table; for all engaged in ministries of service, that they may serve the needs of their communities and the world in Christ’s name.Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

For all entrusted with earthly authority, that they be given the spirit of wisdom to govern according to your will, so that justice and peace may flourish throughout the world; avert from the world threats of war; and hold your protective and guiding hand over individuals, families, and children faced with an uncertain future.Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

For the earth, and all its creatures, that we may be good stewards of the earth, and save it from destruction caused by human carelessness or malice.Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

For all who suffer in this transitory life, and all who are in need of our prayers this day, whether we name them aloud or silently (…); give healing to the sick, help and comfort to all in trouble or sorrow, and to the dying the hope of eternal life in Christ.Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

For all who have gone before us bearing the sign of faith, and are now at rest in Christ, we give thanks to you, O Lord; may we be sustained in faith until our last hour, and together with them, inherit the joys you have prepared for those who love you.

Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

Hasten, O Father, the coming of your kingdom: and grant that we, your servants, who now live by faith, may with joy behold your Son at his coming in glorious majesty; Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate.Amen.
