Heavenly Father, today we hear how you nourish those that are hungry. Help us to share our skills, our time, and our love with those around us. Hear our prayers we bring before you.
We pray for those living in war torn countries, those that are hungry, displaced, and orphaned. We pray world leaders will act with speed and diligence to ensure peace prevails.
We pray for those in strained relationships. May the Holy Spirit bring forgiveness and healing to those that are struggling.
As year 11 pupils, and college and university students, prepare to leave their studies following their exams, we pray that their future may be full of excitement and possibility. May their new ventures take them on roads that ensure they lead the life God intended for them.
We pray and give thanks for the beauty of the world around us, the sun warming our face, the unconditional love of a cherished pet, the beauty of the natural world in all its glory. May we recognise the face of God in the wonders of the world we live in.
This Corpus Christi, we pray to draw ever closer and to celebrate the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Today, may we be still with the Blessed Sacrament in the grateful knowledge it brings us ever closer to our beloved Christ.
Lord, help us to share what we have with those we love. Help us to provide spiritual refreshment to those that need it most. Amen.
