4 Prayers of the People (Litany for the Mission of the Church) Presider: Christ Jesus, you go before and behind us. You are our light and our shield. Guide our path; be our clear sight; lift us up in your Gospel joy; and bless the work we do in your name and honor; for you are our beloved, and our life made new. Leader: Holy God, in whom all things in heaven and earth have their being. Have Mercy on us. Jesus the Christ, through whom the world is reconciled to the Father. Have Mercy on us. Holy Spirit, whose glory fills the world and searches the depths of God. Have Mercy on us. Blessed Trinity, source of both unity and diversity. Have Mercy on us. From blind hearts and petty spirits, that refers to see the need of all humankind for your love. Savior, deliver us. From pride, self-sufficiency and the unwillingness to admit our own need of your compassion. Savior, deliver us. -4-

5 O God, we pray for the gifts of ministry. Inspire our minds with a vision of your kingdom in this time and place. Touch our eyes, that we may see your glory in all creation. Touch our ears, that we may hear from every mouth the hunger for hope and stories of refreshment. Touch our lips, that we may tell in every tongue and dialect the wonderful works of God. Touch our hearts, that we may discern the mission to which you call us. Touch our feet, that we may take your Good news into our neighborhoods, communities, and all parts of the world. Touch our hands, that we may each accomplish the work you give us to do. Strengthen and encourage all who minister in your name in lonely dangerous and unresponsive places. Open the hearts and hands of many to support your Church in this and every place. -5-

6 From discouragement in the face of pain and disappointment, and from lack of persistence and thoroughness. Savior, deliver us. From ignorance, apathy, and complacency that prevent us from spreading the Gospel. Savior, deliver us. Presider O God, by the preaching of your apostle Paul you have caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world: Grant, we pray, that we having his wonderful conversion in remembrance may show ourselves thankful to you by following his holy teaching: through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen Peace (shared by all as a sign of our unity in Christ Jesus) -6-
