Brothers and sisters, as we worship the Trinity, let us appeal to the Triune God, Who sustains all life, for our needs and the needs of the world.
That the Church may remain faithful to the Great Commission and make disciples of all nations.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
That the Church may be One as the Triune God is One.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
That elected officials may weed out corruption in government and serve their people with justice and mercy.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
That those who have participated in the senseless killing of human life may repent and receive the forgiveness that only Jesus can offer.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
That the violence, despair and poverty in our cities may be replaced by peace, hope and gainful employment.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
That we may earnestly desire the Holy Spirit and His Gifts and not the things of this world.
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
For our own special intentions. (Pause)
Lord in Your mercy,Hear our prayer.
Heavenly Father, You are the giver of every good gift. Hear our prayer and give us the grace to be one with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever.
Amen.
