Third Sunday of Lent (23 Mar 25)
Introduction (by the Presider) Let us bring our needs to our compassionate and loving God:
- For Christians, Jews and Muslims, children of Abraham (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For Pope Francis and all people who are sick (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us..
- For an end to war and trouble, especially in Ukraine (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For people still suffering because of COVID (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For those who rely on our prayers — neighbours, family and friends (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For victims of natural disasters, and all who die in accidents (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
The Presider prays for the dead: That the faithful departed may enter the heavenly rest that all people seek (especially N and N) (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
Conclusion (by the Presider) God of mercy and compassion, hear the prayers we make, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
