~~ join me in this day Prayers and Intercessions ~~

Let us pray humbly to Jesus, who does not abandon those who hope in Him:
– Jesus our God, hear us.
Christ our Lord, fill your Church with Your Light:
make her preach You to the nations, the deep mystery of our religion made visible in the flesh.
– Jesus our God, hear us.
Help the priests and ministers of the Church:
as they have preached to others, so may they themselves be faithful in Your service.
– Jesus our God, hear us.
By shedding Your Blood You brought Peace to the world:
keep us free from the sin of discord and the scourge of war.
– Jesus our God, hear us.
Give married couples an abundance of Your grace
to make them a more perfect symbol of Your marriage with Your Church.
– Jesus our God, hear us.
Grant all the dead forgiveness of their sins:
in Your Mercy bring them to new life with the Saints.
– Jesus our God, hear us.

Stay with us, Lord Jesus, for dusk is falling.
Accompany us on our road, revive our hearts, take pity on us and fill us with Hope,
so that with our brethren we may recognise You in the Scriptures and in the breaking of bread.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.
