Lent 4, 2020 Part 3








Hear, O Israel
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind,
and with all your strength.

This is the first and the great commandment.
The second is like it:
Love your neighbour as yourself.

There is no commandment greater than these.

The Prayers of the Community

The Litany

Let us offer our intercessions,
petitions and thanksgivings, saying,
‘God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.’

For the one holy catholic and apostolic Church
throughout the world,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For the mission of the Church,
that in faithful witness
it may preach the gospel to the ends of the earth,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For those preparing for baptism
and for their teachers and sponsors,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For peace in the world,
that a spirit of respect and reconciliation
may grow among nations and peoples,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For the poor, the persecuted, the sick
and all who suffer;
for refugees, prisoners and all in danger;
that they may be relieved and protected,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For all whom we have injured or offended,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

For grace to amend our lives and to further your reign,
God of our ancestors, hear our prayer.

Loving God,
whose peace passes all our understanding:

and experience fear and anxiety,
may we hear your voice,
bringing calm to the storms of our time.

Strengthen those who work
to limit the spread of infection,
and those who seek to care for the sick,
and keep us mindful of those most vulnerable.

May we shape our living to protect one another,
and may our changing habits,
practices and sacrifices,
be for the greater love of our community
and all your people.  Amen.
From the Diocese of Niagara.

The Collect of the Day
Creator and Healer,
you work your Sabbath will in the chaos of our life:
teach us the insight that gives true judgement
and praises you wherever you are found,
making miracles from spit and mud;
through Jesus Christ, the Son of earth.  Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer
Trusting in the compassion of God
and gathering our prayers and praises into one,
let us pray as our Saviour taught us,

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen.

Dismissal
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace
in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
