To live happy, healthy, productive lives we all need the grace of God, and we all need prayer because life gets difficult at times and we can't do it alone.
Below is a general intersession prayer. We all fit into at least one of the mentioned categories, so too those around us. As you read through this prayer take the time to find in your mind those you know, who fit each category, turning it into a personal and heart-felt communication with God.
Be mindful, O Lord. of thy people bowed before thee, and of those who are absent through age, sickness or infirmity. Care for the infants, guide the young, support the aged, encourage the faint-hearted, collect the scattered, and bring the wandering to thy fold. Travel with the voyagers, defend the widows, shield the orphans, deliver the captives, heal the sick. Succour all who are in tribulation, necessity, or distress. Remember for good all those that love us, and those that hate us, and those that have desired us, unworthy that we are, to pray for them.And those whom we have forgotten, do thou, O Lord, remember. For thou art the Helper of the helpless, the Saviour of the lost, the Refuge of the wanderer, the Healer of the sick. Thou who knowest each man's need, and hast heard his prayer, grant unto each according to thy merciful loving-kindness and thy eternal love: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Why not join us for prayer and Mass at St. Hilda's Parish, Anglican Catholic Church in Maitland NSW Australia.
