Fourth Sunday of Advent (A)

We pray with longing for the Kingdom to come in our world, to flood with truth and love into those choked and trapped with disillusioned, hopelessness and terror. We pray.

The Lord knows the need and pain of those we love and worry about. As he looks after them, may he give them the sense of his caring presence to uphold and sustain them. We pray.
For us death can be cruel; we ask for a better understanding of eternity. May the Lord gather into his kingdom all those whose earthly journey has come to an end. We pray.

Third Sunday of Advent (A)
The Church is full of possibility and yet vulnerable; it is so urgently needed by our world and yet so weak; we pray that the Lord may strengthen each member of the body, and increase our sense of expectation so that we live with your life. We pray.
In our constantly changing world, with its shifting values and fragile ecological balance, may we be rooted deeply in the Lord’s unchanging nature of mercy, goodness, faithfulness and love. We pray.
May we welcome the Lord into our homes, our streets, and our communities; where we are blind to his presence, may he give us sight; in ordinary and the remarkable, help us to recognize our true and living God. We pray.
With God-given love we bring to mind those who are suffering physically, spiritually or emotionally, that they may find the Lord there beside them in these dark and painful times. We pray.
We pray that the Lord, to whom eternity is natural, may help us to realise that time is not the whole story, and welcome into his kingdom those who have lived this life in his company and have now passed through death; May he comfort those of us here whose hearts are heavy with grieving. We pray.

In gratitude for all those who remind us to be kind and loving by their words and example, we pray for the Church throughout the world and for our own community, that we may be ready to welcome the Lord and put right whatever blocks us from his love. We pray.
We pray that the lines of communication between people and nations may be kept open, respected and honoured, and that where communication has broken down there may be a new desire for healing. We pray.
We pray for those we see and talk to everyday or every week; for those we often argue with or misunderstand; for those who brighten our lives and make us smile; for a greater thankfulness and appreciation of those we usually take for granted. We pray.
We pray for those we have hurt or upset; for those who feel isolated and alone; for the sick, the frail, the stressed and the bitter. We pray.
We pray for the dying and those who have died to this earthly life. May they know the eternal peace of heaven, and May those who miss them be comforted. We pray.

As we prepare ourselves for the time when Christ comes again in glory, we pray for the grace and honesty to see what needs transforming in our lives as individuals and as members of the Church of God.
May all church leaders, pastors and teachers be directed, inspired and upheld by the living Spirit of God, and May there be a deepening of love and commitment in all Christians the world over.
May the leaders of this nation and all the nations be drawn increasingly to understand God’s ways of justice and righteousness, and be fulfilled with longing to do what is right and honest and good.
May all families on earth be blessed with mutual love and caring consideration of one another; May arguments and misunderstandings be properly resolved, and difficult relationships refreshed and healed.
May those for whom the days and nights creep past in pain or sorrow be given comfort and hope; May the frightened find reassurance and the anxious find peace of mind.
May those who have reached the point of death be given the knowledge of God’s Closeness on that last journey; and May those who have died know the eternal peace and joy of heaven.
