As we commence the season of Lent we are encouraged by Pope Francis to learn to love again and thus become beacons of God’s love for the world.

Our response is “Be with us Lord in all our endeavours”

We pray for the worldwide church remembering especially our brothers and sisters in Syria and the Middle East who live in constant danger because they choose to follow Christ

PAUSE

We pray……Lord, be with us in all our endeavours

Tonight many will sleep on the streets of Cardiff and other cities because they are homeless .We pray for them and the agencies and individuals who work to relieve their plight

PAUSE

We pray….Lord be with us in all our endeavours

We remember now all the deceased of our Three Churches and mention especially Evelyn Trueman and Lillian Dyer who died recently. May the Lord greet them joyfully and may their friends be comforted in their time of loss

PAUSE

We pray…..Lord be with us in all our endeavours

We listen with concern to the discussions between Britain and The European Union regarding our withdrawal and pray for a just and equitable solution which will recognise the needs of all including refugees who struggle to make  homes in a strange country                    

PAUSE

We pray,,,,,,Lord be with us all our endeavours

For a few moments let us listen in our hearts to the voice of our Loving Father

LONGER PAUSE

We ask Mary our mother, to take up our concerns and join us in our prayers saying Hail Mary ….etc 

Heavenly Father, listen to our petitions and and grant them through Jesus your Beloved Son who lives in glory with You and the Holy Spirit forever.

AMEN
