Intercessions ~ Trinity Sunday




In God's inner life there is friendship,/ community,/ relationship./ May we live Trinitarian lives,/ embracing this divine-human way./ We pray to the Lord.

At the start of June we pray for those who celebrate birthdays,/ anniversaries and other days of remembrance,/ asking for them,/ good health,/ safety and peace./ We pray to the Lord.

June is also the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus./ May we not simply admire a picture on the wall,/ but have our own Christ-heart renewed,/ which is a heart of compassion and inclusivity./ We pray to the Lord.

This week our president held up a bible for all to see./ We pray for all Christian leaders,/ to embrace the healing,/ unifying words and deeds of Jesus/ which are found in that book./ We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our country/ which is suffering through the covid pandemic,/ historic unemployment and civil unrest/ following the terrible death of George Floyd./ We asks for the healing of our national soul./ We pray to the Lord.

For the victims of hate and violence./ For those who abuse power and dominate others./ For mourners and those who are aggrieved in their poverty./ Could God be asking for us to undertake a national examination of conscience?/ We pray to the Lord.
