		Prayers of the Faithful
PRIEST:  Jesus constantly tells us ‘Do not be afraid’. With that in mind let us now turn to God with our prayers, for ourselves and for our world: 

READER: For all who are called to lead us and guide us, especially William, Bishop of Lewes, that they will help us all to grow in our faith.
Lord in your mercy.
Hear our prayer.
 
For world leaders and all those in government, that they will always show care for our world and endeavour to protect its resources. 
Lord in your mercy.
Hear our prayer.

For our own parish community, gathered today: that we will remain secure in God’s love for us and share that love with others. 
Lord in your mercy.
Hear our prayer.

For all who are sick or suffering, for those who are isolated and alone, for the oppressed, the bereaved and the wounded, that they will find comfort and healing in Christ. 
Lord in your mercy.
Hear our prayer.

For all who have died, that they may share in Christ’s risen life. For…
Rest eternal, grant unto them, O Lord.
And let light perpetual shine upon them,

In a moment of silence, we offer our own petitions…

We join our prayers with Our Blessed Mother.

Hail Mary…

PRIEST:  God our Father, your love for us is unconditional and eternal. May we always know that love
and walk in the light of your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please pray for:
	  William, acting Bishop of Chichester
