Prayer of intercession<\/h3>\n

O Lord our God,
\nYou are Love, living and dancing through creation;
\nYou are Light, challenging and purifying our hearts;
\nYou are Peace, deep and unfathomable,
\nworking through and beyond all pain and conflict.<\/p>\n

We praise you for the gift of life itself;
\nwe praise you for our fragile and beautiful planet;
\nwe praise you for the richness and variety of different races and cultures;
\nwe praise you for human love and laughter;
\nwe praise you for the sheer fun of celebration.<\/p>\n

Use us now as channels of blessing for those in need:
\nfor victims of famine, especially in …,
\nfor victims of war, especially in …,
\nfor victims of hatred, prejudice and injustice;
\nfor those who are ill or depressed,
\nthe lonely, and those longing to be alone;
\nand for those who have lost all hope of finding a home,
\nor finding work.<\/p>\n

Lord, in your mercy,
\nhear our prayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Risen Christ,
\nbreaking the bonds of evil and death,
\nshine on us, and on those for whom we pray,
\nwith your eyes of compassion and glory.
\nLet your light flood the darkness in us and in our world,
\nand make us bearers of
\n      your healing for people,
\n      your delight in this planet,
\n      and your outrageously generous forgiveness,
\non which we all depend,
\nthrough Christ our Lord,
\nour Lover and our Saviour.
\nAmen.
