| Young Coptic Monks of the Monastery of Anba Bishoi ~ Egypt |
We pray for the healing of those who remain locked inside themselves,/ huddled against love,/ un-free,/ inaccessible,/ bent upon self-destruction./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for Christians and Jews who live unprotected and vulnerable lives,/ who suffer the violence of criminals and terrorists./ We pray to the Lord.
As Lent begins,/ we pray to be blessed with the transforming gifts we need to come to Easter in the renewal of our minds and hearts./ We pray to the Lord.
Having begun the Lenten time with ashes on our foreheads/ we pray for so much of the world which lays in ashes and destruction./ We pray for a new global priority to save the world's children./ We pray to the Lord.
We offer prayer for those who suffer in the winter time:/ cold,/ hunger,/ homelessness,/ loneliness,/ accident or sickness./ And for those who are winter helpers./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for our families,/ asking for the blessings of healing,/ safety and wholeness./ We remember families around the world trapped in war and desperation./ We pray to the Lord.
Finally,/ in our prayer we remember the dead,/ mindful that many die pre-maturely,/ or tragically by neglect or evil done to them./ And we pray for ourselves to be agents of life./ We pray to the Lord.
