Intercessions for Trinity 16

Assistant:
Let us call together upon the Lord, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.  Brief Silence

God of mercy, God of life, hear our prayers for Your Church and strengthen Your baptized people to be joyful witnesses to Christ’s power over death and the grave.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

God of mercy, God of life, remember our Synodical President, Matthew, our District President, Timothy, and all the pastors and servants of the Church.  Protect them from the assaults of the evil one and fill them with zeal to proclaim Your Word.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

God of mercy, God of life, remember in kindness all who hold offices of public trust in our land.  Fill them with Your wisdom, and help them to serve in integrity and honor.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

God of mercy, God of life, to Your loving care we commend all who grieve, the lonely and forsaken, the sick and the hospitalized and all who are taking treatments:  especially commending to Your hands.... that each may be comforted by Christ and filled with the hope of His endless life.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

God of mercy, God of life, remember all who come to the Altar today that receiving the undying body and blood of the Savior, they may rejoice in repentance, receive forgiveness, and celebrate the praises of Him who has visited us in His compassion.  Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Celebrant:
God of mercy, God of life:  Join our prayers and praises with those Your faithful people of every time and place, and unite them in the ceaseless petitions of our Great High Priest until He comes again in power and great glory as victorious Lord of all.  Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is Yours, almighty Father, forever and ever.  Amen.
