Brothers and Sisters:
We seek the mighty God in the most unlikely places as a child in a stable, and in an empty tomb. May God hear these prayers, which come from the unlikely corners of our lives...

WE PRAY, for the Church: that we may make ready a way for the Lord and make a straight path for God in our hearts, within our families, and in our workplaces...

WE PRAY, for the grace of listening: that our hearts may be open to the Word of God as it comes to us and that our lives may be transformed by it...

WE PRAY, for the gift of hope: that we may long for and desire the fulfillment of God’s saving work that will defeat evil, end hostilities, and restore unity to the human family...

WE PRAY, for all who are gathered here: that Christ may increase our love for one another and help us to be overflowing with generosity toward all who are in need...

WE PRAY, for all who are gathered here: that our love may grow deeper and more sincere and that it be manifest in words and actions toward all whom God brings into our lives...

WE PRAY: For all who are in need of healing: that the Spirit of God will renew and restore the gift of life within them. WE ESPECIALLY PRAY BY NAME FOR:

WE PRAY: for Peace: that You would open new understanding between all parties in conflicts and help them to listen the values and needs they each possess...

Hear now our prayers, that we may love you with our whole being and willingly share the concerns of our neighbors, as we say:
LORD HAVE MERCY

We ask this through our LORD Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with YOU, and the HOLY Spirit; one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
