Opening Prayer

Look upon us, O God,
Creator and ruler of all things,
and, that we may feel

the working of your mercy,
grant that we may serve you

with all our heart.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son,
who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen

Prayers of the Faithful

Trusting in God’s mercy and compassion, we offer our prayers and petitions.

​

• For the Church, may the Lord bless her and keep her safe from all evil, let us pray to the Lord.

• For harmony and justice in our nation and across the world, may the Prince of Peace dwell in the hearts of all, let us pray to the Lord.

• For all who are holding on to past hurts and grievances, may the Lord give them the grace to forgive, let us pray to the Lord.

• For our beloved dead, may they know the loving embrace of our merciful Father, let us pray to the Lord.

• For the prayers we hold in the silence of our heart, let us pray to the Lord.

​

Father of mercy and compassion, look beyond our sins and hear the prayers we offer you with contrite and repentant hearts. We ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, 
Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Closing Prayer

May the working of your Grace,

O Lord, we pray,

take possession

of our minds and bodies,
so that its effects,

and not our own desires,
may always prevail in us.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
