In to-day’s reading we are reminded of how together we all form the body of Christ and how we are required to fulfil whatever role the Father has devised for us. Accordingly we turn again to the Father for guidance as to how we should live out Christ’s law

Our response is “Lord we call upon your mercy

We pray for the worldwide church remembering especially our brothers and sisters in Syria and the Middle East who live in constant danger because they choose to follow Christ

PAUSE

We pray……Lord, we call upon your mercy

Tonight many will sleep on the streets of Cardiff and other cities because they are homeless .We pray for them and the agencies and individuals who work to relieve their plight

We listen with concern to the discussions between Britain and The European Union regarding our withdrawal and pray for a just and equitable solution which will recognise the needs of all including refugees who struggle to make  homes in a strange country

                                   

                                    PAUSE

For a few moments let us listen in our hearts to the voice of our Loving Father

 

                                    LONGER PAUSE

 

 

We ask Mary ,our mother, to take up our concerns and join us in our prayers saying Hail Mary ….etc
