Maundy Thursday
Brothers and sisters, Jesus, our Passover Lamb, has redeemed us from all unrighteousness and now we have peace with God the Father and access to His Throne of grace. Therefore, let us bring our needs before Him.
For the Church: that She may boldly proclaim the Lord’s Life, Death and Resurrection until He comes again.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For our Patriarch, all Bishops, Priests and other Clergy: that they may shepherd God’s people with the same love and compassion that Jesus demonstrates to us.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For peace throughout the world: that God will rule in the hearts of all people.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For our deliverance from all danger, violence, oppression and terrorism.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For the poor, the hungry, the homeless, and the unemployed: that they may find their needs met in Christ with the help of His people.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For the eyes of our spirit: that we may see Jesus in the breaking of the Bread.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For our own special intentions. (Pause)
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Heavenly Father, just as Jesus came to serve and not to be served, hear our prayer and give us the grace to serve You by serving others. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
