Epiphany Sunday
Brothers and sisters, the Glory of the Lord has visited us. Grateful for His presence, let us bring our petitions before Him.
That the Church, through word and deed, may lead the world to the Savior as the star led the Magi to the King of Kings.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That just as Christ set aside His Divinity and became human like one of us, may nations recognize the sanctity of every human life.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That missionaries may have their strength renewed through the prayers and support of God’s people.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That we may acknowledge Jesus as Lord over all our lives as we come and worship Him as the wise men of old did.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That those experiencing hardship or affliction may discover in their sufferings the love that Christ displayed for them through His sufferings.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That those who have lost loved ones may find comfort in the promises of God.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For our own special intentions. (Pause)
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Father in heaven, mercifully hear our prayer and increase our faith that we may shine the light of Your Glory among our neighbors and friends. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
