Second Sunday of Lent  (16 Mar 25)

Introduction (by the Presider) Let us bring our prayers to God, who is forever our light and our help:

  1. That all the members of the Church may have a good Lent (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  2. That the people of Ukraine may be protected from disaster (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us..
  3. That there may be peace in the Middle East (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  4. That people in hospital may get better (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  5. That those suffering from depression may be healed (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  6. That the hungry and homeless may not be neglected (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.

The Presider prays for the dead: That those who have died may share the glory of Jesus (especially N and N) (pause a moment for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.

Conclusion (by the Presider) O God, in you we hope — you are our constant help, hear the prayers we make, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
