These intercessions were prepared for Trinity Sunday, 7 June 2020, in the Rathkeale and Kilnaughtin Group of Parishes. However, the churches have been closed temporarily because of the Covid-19 pandemic:
Let us pray on this Trinity Sunday:
May ‘the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of’ us
(II Corinthians 13: 13):
Loving Father,
how glorious is your name in all the world (Psalm 8: 1).
Comfort all who are victims of racism;
challenge us when we become too comfortable.
Comfort those who are isolated and alone;
sustain and protect frontline workers;
Give hope to schools and places of education,
give wisdom to our government,
guide all who make difficult decisions,
help us to protect our communities and ourselves.
Give wisdom to people in America
crying for justice,
condemning racism,
seeking peace.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
Lord Jesus Christ:
you call us to bring your love into all the world,
regardless of differences,
without discrimination (Matthew 28: 19):
We pray for the Church,
that we may share that life generously and in abundance.
We pray for churches that are closed this morning,
that the hearts of the people may remain open
to the love of God, and to the love of others.

Christ have mercy,
Christ have mercy.

you are the breath of all creation and all life (Genesis 1: 2):

for healing, restoration and health,
in body, mind and spirit.
We give thanks for new life …
