Prayers and Intercessions | Mission St Clare | Book of Common Prayer

Lent - Year B (Mark)

Collect for the Day:

Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore:

Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you, all tongues
confess and bless you, and men and women everywhere love you and
serve you in peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Collect for Guidance

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being:

We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit,

that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you,

but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Peace against violence
God of life,
Every act of violence in our world, in our communities, between myself
and others destroys a part of your creation.  Stir in my heart a renewed
sense of reverence for all life. Give me the vision to recognize your spirit
in every human being, however, they behave towards me. Make possible
the impossible by cultivating in me the fertile seed of healing love. May I play
my part in breaking the cycle of violence by realizing that peace begins
with me. In the name of Christ, who is our peace, Amen.
