We who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus pray now for all of our needs and the needs of the world.

For the Church: that we may listen deeply to God’s beloved Son so that our lives may manifest God’s glory, we pray:

For a deepening of hope: that in the midst of negative and doubting messages from our society, we may grow in trusting that God will never give up on us, we pray:

For a deeper awareness of life’s goal: that we may allow God to change and transform us day by day so that we may come to the fullness of life with God in eternity, we pray:

For our brothers and sisters in Gris Gris: that we may be filled with care and compassion and respond with generous hearts, open hands, and a renewed sense of solidarity with all the families and children, we pray:

For all who are on a journey, whether physical or spiritual: that they may know God’s presence each step along the way and rely upon God’s light and truth to guide their steps, we pray:

For the sick and suffering in our community, including Stacy Crawford and John Gieske; for all who suffer, we pray:

For those who have died, and for all who mourn their passing, we pray:

Presider:

Loving God, your divine Son shines with the radiance of your glory. Hear our prayers that one day we might share fully in that same glory. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
