Intercessions for Life
January 2000
That this season of newborn joy,
might cause us to embrace the Gospel of Life
with new vigor, hope and determination;
We pray to the Lord:
That the baptism of each little child
into the mystery of the Christ and his Church,
might remind us of the precious gifts of life
which God places into our hands;
We pray to the Lord:
That the jubilee of our redemption,
might draw us more closely
to the poor, the forgotten, the old and the sick;
We pray to the Lord:
For those who die by violence,
and especially for all whose lives seem empty,
that our proclamation of the Gospel of life
might bring them the hope which is life in Christ Jesus;
We pray to the Lord:
For all who live in the nursing homes of this town,
and especially for those who have no one to love them,
that by God's grace
we might embrace the gift of those who have grown old
with our arms and our hearts;
We pray to the Lord:
