			Intercessions
PRIEST: Through the death and Resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ, God our Father has shown his immense love for us, and so with confidence we turn to the Lord in prayer: 
READER: For our Bishop, Martin, that he may continue to proclaim the merciful love of God.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.

For peace in our world, that all will turn from hatred to love and from violence to reconciliation. 
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.

For our parish community that, by keeping Lent well, we will come to the celebration of Easter with hearts and minds renewed.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.
For all who are sick or housebound and for all who have been bereaved, that they may know the gentle touch of God’s healing love and be filled with hope in the Resurrection.
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.

For all those who have died. May they share in Christ’s risen life. For…
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer.

In a moment of silence, we offer our own petitions.

We join our prayers with those of Our Blessed Mother: 

Hail Mary…

PRIEST: Father of love, you have planted in our hearts
the hope of eternal life. Bring us and all our loved ones
to the joy of the Kingdom of heaven. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
