Our Response is Lord, Hear our Prayer

For the Church:
That we may continue our mission of fostering life and faith throughout the world, we pray:
Lord, Hear our Prayer

For government leaders:
That they will not break faith with the people they govern,
and will instead work to build a society that treats the unborn, the inconvenient, and the burdensome as brothers and sisters we pray:
Lord, Hear our Prayer

For all who hear the word of God:
That they will listen closely and take His words of comfort to heart, we pray:
Lord, Hear our Prayer

For those who have trouble keeping their pride in check:
That they will be able to humble themselves before God,
And perform works not to be seen, but to help those in need we pray:
Lord, Hear our Prayer

For the members and friends of St. Paul’s:
That we will strive always to not lay our burdens on the shoulders of others, we pray:
Lord, Hear our Prayer

For the silent prayers of our hearts and for any special prayers you wish to mention now…
(Pause for others to pray and for the priest to conclude with prayer)
