The Baptism of the Lord (A)
Priest:
In the Lord’s baptism we see the revelation that he has come to bring salvation, healing and peace to the world. Let us now pray for the needs of the church and the world:
Reader:
Let us pray for the universal church. May all the baptised strive to be fruitful ministers of Christ’s message of love and salvation.
Lord, hear us.
Let us pray for world leaders. May the Holy Spirit instil in them a drive for true justice, so that they may govern their citizens fairly, without fear or favour. Lord, hear us.
Let us pray for the people of Australia, especially all who suffer because of the bushfires there. May the Lord the protect those in danger and richly bless all who come their aid. Lord, hear us.
Let us pray for those suffering financial hardship. May all who are worried and fearful find strength in the Lord to persevere through their struggles, and may those who are able be generous in assisting those in need.
Lord, hear us.
Let us pray for those who have departed this life. May God our Father, who called each of us by name, bring all the departed into the wonderful light of his heavenly home.
Lord, hear us.
Let us pray together with Our Lady, Queen of Peace, as we say: Hail Mary…
Let us pray quietly for our own personal intentions.
Priest:
Father in heaven, you revealed Christ your Son as the light of salvation for the whole world. We ask you to hear these and all our prayers which we make in faith and hope, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
