Christ the King (B), Nov. 22, 2015
Intercessions:
For the coming of God’s Kingdom; that all peoples and nations be gathered into God’s everlasting dominion, we pray:
That God’s Reign, which is “not from this world,” triumph over Satan and the power of darkness,” and for an end everywhere of terrorism and violence, we pray:
That the sacrifice of Christ, which we celebrate here, reconcile all people to God, and that Christ bring peace to all nations, we pray.
For all of those who share the devastating effectsof our current crisis in the American church; that we may mourn with all of those who have suffered as victims; that justice bedone, healing promoted, and charity fulfilled, we pray:
That the mysteries of human redemption be accomplished among us; that we may know truth and life, holiness and grace, justice, love and peace, we pray:
That we may see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’with great power and glory,and that we may be numberedamong his electgathered from the four winds, we pray:
For all of our beloved dead, that they mayshine brightlylike the splendor of the firmament,and be like the stars forever and ever: Amen!
