Prayers of the Faithful

March 7, 2010

 

Presider: 
We pray that our God, who rescued our ancestors, will hear and answer our prayers for ourselves and our world. Our response is a sung refrain, “Óyenos Señor”, that is, “Hear us Lord"
A sung response, “Óyenos Señor” is sung twice. Lector:

1.   For the world’s poor, that suffering people in far-off lands and in nearby neighborhoods may become visible to us, we pray:
“Óyenos Señor” is sung once. 

2.   For the church, that believers everywhere may unite their voices in prayer and their efforts in building the kingdom, we pray:
“Óyenos Señor” is sung once. 

3.   For our Elect and Candidates,  and all those newly open to the power of the Gospel, that their faith may be strengthened and their witness may be an inspiration to others, we pray:
“Óyenos Señor” is sung once. 

4.   That our community, during our 40^th Season of Lent, may remember with gratitude what has been, and be renewed in charity faith and hope as we move toward our future, we pray:
 “Óyenos Señor” is sung once. 

5.   For those who have died, especially Delores Bannochie, the mother of Debra Blake; Donald Williams, the brother of Sharon Horgan; Bob Turner, the husband of Pat Turner, Ralph Moudry, the father of Carol Warnacutt.
 “Óyenos Señor” is sung once.
