preserve the health and patience of those who give care. We pray especially
for: add your own petitions

of The Table
You gather us All and from our
hearts, let our mouths speak out in Faith
~ O God of Immutable Mercy, we ask an extra measure of
blessing for our clergy for the innumerable ways they care for us and work to strengthen
our faith in You. As they teach us how to listen and understand all that You
intend in our lives, help us show our thanks and gratitude for theirs. We pray
especially for: add your own petitions
Jesus, Son of God, Master
of The Table
You gather us All and from our
hearts, let our mouths speak out in Faith
The Celebrant adds: LORD of Blessing, LORD of Life, please show
us the way to each other, as we, Your children, struggle with the wars and
discords among us. We ask Your special grace through Jesus, our Redeemer, and, the
Holy Spirit, our Soul Guide, who with You, are One God, now and forever. Amen.
