INTERCESSIONS LET US PRAY FOR SYRIA God of Compassion, Hear the cries of the people of Syria. Bring healing to those suffering from the violence. Bring comfort to those mourning the dead. Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in their care and welcome for refugees. Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms, and protect those committed to peace. God of Hope, inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with enemies, inspire the Church around the world with compassion for the people of Syria, and give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for all. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace and Light of the World, through the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen. We trust in God’s concern for every person he has created and redeemed through his Son. Let us, therefore, renew our prayer to him: Fulfill the good work you have begun in us, Lord. O God of mercy, guide us toward spiritual growth, – fill our minds with thoughts of truth, justice and love. Fulfill the good work you have begun in us, Lord. For your name’s sake, do not abandon us for ever, – and do not annul your covenant. Fulfill the good work you have begun in us, Lord. Accept us, for our hearts are humble and our spirits contrite, – and those who trust in you shall not be put to shame. Fulfill the good work you have begun in us, Lord. You have called us to a prophetic vocation in Christ, – help us proclaim your mighty deeds. Fulfill the good work you have begun in us, Lord. Lord, fill our hearts with your love as morning fills the sky. By living your law may we have your peace in this life and endless joy in the life to come. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. – Amen.
