PRIEST: In faith and trust that our prayers will be heard and answered, we now bring our prayers and petitions to the Lord: 
  
	READER: For the Church, that all her members will persevere in faith as we prepare for the coming of the Lord.
Lord in your mercy
   Hear our prayer.
   
   For peace in our world that, where there is war,
hatred, conflict or violence, peacemakers may bring news of a just and lasting peace.
Lord in your mercy
   Hear our prayer.
    For our own parish community, that we may always act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God throughout this Advent season.
Lord in your mercy
   Hear our prayer.
   
   For all who are sick or suffering in any way, that they will know the healing touch of our Lord’s love for them. For…

In a moment of silence, we offer our own petitions

We join our prayers with those of our Blessed Mother. Hail Mary…
