We pray for all Church leaders as they call for peace in the Middle East. May Christian communities be places of welcome, compassion and safety for all who seek healing and a new beginning.
We pray for the innocent victims of conflict, especially in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Sudan. May leaders reject violence and choose peace, truth, and respect for every person
We pray for those who face job insecurity and the pressures of rising living costs. May they find support from those around them and discover the help they need.
We pray that we may be patient, merciful, and joyful as we continue our Lenten journey. May we reflect God’s hope and encouragement to the people around us.
We pray for all preparing for baptism and to receive the Eucharist.May this be a time of peace and courage, and may they feel Christ close to them.
God of light and mercy, hear the prayers we bring before you. Strengthen us with your grace, that we may walk joyfully toward Easter. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
