			Intercessions
PRIEST: God is love and commands us to live in that same love. Let us turn to him and pray for the strength to live as the Lord teaches: 

READER:  For Martin, our bishop, that he will be blessed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and so lead our Diocese in the ways of the Lord. 
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.

For our world, especially for all those who live in poverty, that we may share more justly the many resources God has given us.
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.

For our own community, that each of us will reflect the love of Christ by the way we live our lives.
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.
For all who are sick or housebound, and for those who are bereaved, that they will be strengthened
by the knowledge of Christ’s love for them.
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.

For all who have died, that their every hope will be fulfilled as they gaze forever on the glorious reality of God in heaven. For…
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.

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

We join our prayers with those of our Blessed Mother:
Hail Mary…

PRIEST: God our Father, you have revealed your love for us in the death and Resurrection of Jesus your Son. Increase our love for one another that we may be your disciples in name and in truth. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please pray for:
