It is Mercy Sunday,/ celebrating the kindness of God we meet in Christ./ We pray for those who have shown us any kindness and support over the years./ May we bring kindness and attention to the little parts of the world which are ours./ We pray to the Lord.
We can feel the great struggle between winter and spring these days./ We pray for ourselves,/ our families and friends/ where there is relational,/ emotional,/ financial or spiritual tension./ We pray to the Lord.
For those who live in disappointment/ or who search for new meaning and purpose./ For the unemployed,/ and those who have lost their way/ or who are suffering despair or fear./ We pray to the Lord.
We ask for a more peaceful and just world./ For leaders who are weak or who have failed their people,/ who use their position and office for personal gain/ or who are corrupted./ We pray to the Lord.
Eastern Christians celebrate Easter today./ We pray for those who are in trouble and who live in fear for their believing./ May the world benefit where Christians reconcile and pattern goodness and love./ We pray to the Lord.
Grant safety to travelers,/ comfort to the sick and those who feel un-enduring/ or who have lost emotional balance./ For health care providers,/ rescuers,/ spouses and siblings./ We ask blessings for the children in our lives./ We pray to the Lord.
