These are the Prayers of the People that will be used during church this week.

Please respond to the prayers with “and graciously hear us.”

Christ the King, we exalt you this morning, praising you for your glorious resurrection exalted name. May we give you the honor and worship you deserve. This morning, we serve you with gladness and enter your gates with thanksgiving.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.

Son of Man, help us to see you in those whom society considers the lowest. Guide us as we invest our resources of time, talent and money in meeting their needs. May those who receive food through Feed My Sheep glorify you for your provision.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.

As the Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians, we ask you to give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that our hearts may be enlightened to know the hope of your glorious inheritance and immeasurable power.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.

We pray for all who have dedicated their lives to you. We pray especially for our visiting priests, Jenks and Amanda, that they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments. Guide our men’s group, St. Brigid’s Brigade, and our Ladies Zoom Bible Study, as they seek to understand and apply your Word to their lives.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.
