Prayer of the faithful

The universal prayer
A new heaven and a new earth have been revealed and God’s dwelling is with the human race. In the glory of God’s presence we offer our prayers.

• May the church persevere in faith and enter into the kingdom of God, we pray, Lord, hear our prayer.
• May the world recognize that God is in its midst, we pray, Lord, hear our prayer.
• May God bring comfort to all who sorrow or are in pain, we pray, Lord, hear our prayer.
• May this faith community show we are Christ’s disciples by the love we have for others, we pray. Lord, hear our prayer.

With thankful hearts we praise forever our God in whose name we pray.
