Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
“John said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.’ “ John 1:30
Priest:
We turn to God in prayer for the needs of the Church and of the world,
that he may show us his mercy.
Reader:
For the Pope and all who have responded to God's call to ministry:
that God will strengthen their service, renew their dedication and bless their works of mercy.
Lord, hear us.
For justice in the world, especially for the poor and helpless:
that we, members of the richer nations, may be generous and merciful with all that we have.
Lord, hear us.
For a deepening of prayer in our lives:
that we may grow in mercy through attentiveness to God’s will.
Lord, hear us.
For those working in the emergency services, for the elderly and for those living alone:
that during the coldness of winter they may be kept from all harm.
Lord, hear us.
For those who are sick, and those who have died, especially in our own community and families: May God bless them, and us.
Lord, hear us.
We offer our prayers to God through the intercession of His blessed Mother, as we say,
Hail Mary …
Let us now pray for a moment in silence.
Priest:
God, our merciful Father,
listen to all our prayers which we make in faith
through your Son, Jesus Christ, who is Lord for ever and ever.
Amen.
