PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

THE SUNDAY OF THE PASSION: PALM SUNDAY

Year A

Lord, we come to you as a church broken by sin, divided by factions. We come weak in our

mission, failing in holiness. We come neglectful in our prayers and insensitive to your presence.

We come lacking in vision, wavering in faith. Let us pray for Justin, the Archbishop of

Canterbury, Michael our Presiding Bishop and Primate, Lawrence, Geralyn and Daniel our own

Bishops. We remember all who have broken faith, broken vows, broken commitments. Lord,

broken on the cross, we come to you. Only you can make us whole.

We come with people broken by war, with all divided by fear, with all who are shattered by

betrayal of trust, with all who are fractured by oppression. Lord, broken on the cross, we come

to you. Only you can make us whole.

Lord, we come with broken hopes and broken dreams, with broken relationships and broken

hearts, with broken promises and broken trust. We come as shattered people. Lord, broken on

the cross, we come to you. Only you can make us whole.

We come with all your broken people. We come with the broken in spirit, with the despondent

and the despairing. We come with the broken in mind, with the deeply distressed and the

disturbed. We come with the broken in body, with all who are injured and all who are ill [N.]

We come to you with all our needs. Lord broken on the cross, we come to you. Only you can

make us whole.

We remember all who have been killed through injustice, cruelty or carelessness, all who have

died that others might live. We rejoice that now they know the wholeness and holiness of your

kingdom. Lord, broken on the cross, we come to you. Only you can make us whole.

All: Lord, you give us life, you give us love, you give us yourself: help us to give our lives,

our love, ourselves to you; through Christ who died and rose again for us, and who lives

with you and the Holy Spirit in everlasting light. Amen.

THE PEACE

Celebrant: The Lord God is your helper;

People: he who vindicates you is near.

Celebrant: The peace of the Lord be always with you.

People: and also with you.
