Let us by prayer and intercession with thanksgiving
make our requests to God.
Gracious God,
Today we lift up the people of Ukraine, and their leader President Zelensky in their time of crisis. We remember the many ordinary people taking up arms for their homeland and we pray for those streaming out of Ukraine as refugees. We pray for wisdom and prudence for President Putin and we pray for the People of Russia, and for the many Russo-Ukrainians that a safe and amicable peace may be found for all. We pray for the people of Belarus and Poland, of Hungary and Rumania as they are impacted by the present conflict.
Lord, In your Mercy.
Hear our prayer.
We pray for the renewal of the Church in faith, love and service.
We pray for Cecelia our moderator and for the life of this community.
We give thanks for the gift of your word,
the grace of the sacraments
