Trinity 3 Intercessions

Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son into this world to save sinners, having compassion on us and casting all our sins into the depths of the sea.  Grant to all Your baptized continual repentance and firm faith in Your steadfast love.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

King of the Ages, immortal and invisible, the only God, look in kindness upon all entrusted with public office in our land and grant them wisdom and courage to serve our people according to Your will.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

O Lord, whose grace overflows toward us, remember in Your compassion our Synod as we prepare to gather in convention, and grant to all delegates a share in Your divine wisdom that all we deliberate and decide may redound to the glory of Jesus Christ and the salvation of sinners.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Father, from whom all Fatherhood derives its name, receive our thanks and praise this day for earthly fathers who reflect to us something of Your love.  Strengthen them in their vocation as spiritual leaders in their families, and make them men of prayer.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

O our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer, remember in love all who cry to you in times of distress and trouble:  the lonely, the home-bound, the sick and the dying, the addicted and the unemployed.  To Your gracious hands we commend those who have desired our prayers: ... asking Your mercy for them all.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Giver of the Feast, You call Your angels to celebrate the sinner who repents and Your Son has prepared for Your children His Holy Supper.  Grant to all who approach the altar today a repentant heart and a firm trust in Your divine promises that they may feast with joy with the angels and archangels and the whole company of heaven.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Father, Your Son is the Destroyer of death and the Victor over the grave.  Receive our thanks for all who have died in saving faith in Him, and bring us with them to those joys which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, in the light of Your endless Day.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
