Prayers of the People Intercessor For the church and for all your creation, we pray to you, LORD GOD, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit; theirs is the dominion of heaven. And so we pray: Unite the church, guide the Episcopal Church and all its leaders; let us show the world the love of Jesus Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see GOD. And so we pray: Give your people the will and the courage to value your service above all lesser goods. Blessed are the peacemakers, GOD s own children. And so we pray: Bring peace to the world, security to the nations, and safety to the cities. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. And so we pray: Remove from us prejudice and injustice, and raise up among us those who will labor for the good of all whom you have made. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. And so we pray: Be present with those who are sick, imprisoned, or in distress especially those on our prayer list; make us quick to love and serve our neighbors. Rejoice and be glad, their reward is great in heaven. And so we pray: We remember all who have witnessed to your love with their lives; give us strength to testify to Christ before the rulers of our own day. Celebrant: Almighty GOD, you have taught us to do justice, love kindness, and practice humility before you; make our faith active in love, that your name may be praised and your people served throughout the earth, through Christ our LORD.
