Prayers of Intercession written for the Choral Eucharist at St George’s
Bloomsbury on Sunday 3rd July 2022 (Third Sunday after Trinity, Year C) based
on the reading from Luke 10.1-11, 16-20.
Let us pray to Almighty God, who sent his Son into the world so that the world through Him might be saved.
Send us, your church, to witness to the transforming power of
your love.
Send us out in the knowledge that the harvest is plentiful; that
our names are written in heaven.
Send us out just as you have made us - in your image.
Send your strength to those whose ministry is not accepted by
others.
Send your Spirit upon the newly baptised, confirmed and ordained
and upon all who minister in your name.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer
Send us to proclaim your message of peace throughout the
world.
Send wisdom upon all with authority and influence; that they may
set aside selfish ambition and do your will.
Send your blessing on the people of Ukraine; all those working
to bring an end to violence and conflict.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer
Send us into the streets of this City to be good neighbours to those in need.
Send us the humility to accept that we cannot fulfil this
mission alone.
Send us the gifts of hospitality and generosity that we might
act in and through your grace.
Send us the courage to turn away from unjust systems and
structures that prevent the world you love from truly flourishing.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer
Send us to bring comfort to those who sick are suffering.
Send your healing presence upon all who are in particular need,
especially Fr Ronald, Sue and Angela and all those whose names are written on
our hearts.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer
Send us patience as we await your coming again.
Send your heavenly host to welcome the faithful departed into
your presence.
Send to all those who mourn the assurance of your promise of
eternal life.
Send us out, renewed in faith, restored by your sacrament, and
guided by your Spirit, to continue our journey towards your kingdom.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer
(Fr Rene will draw the prayers to a close)
