Monday 11th September – Jack Nailen
Dear lord,
We pray that everyone can love one and other for who they
Truly are because everyone is God’s children and he loves us all equally.
We pray for peace in our communities this day.
We commit to you all who work for peace and an end to tensions.
We pray for an end to fear,
For comfort and support to those who suffer.
For calm in our streets and cities,
That people may go about their lives in safety and peace.
Amen.

Almighty God,
We pray for peace in times like these.
That all those who suffer will be given mercy
And for inhumane wars to be halted.
Give strength to those in need of love and support
And let their pain be washed over with harmony.
Amen.
Thursday 14 September – Prayer for Vocations
Almighty and eternal God, in your unfailing love you provide ministers for your Church. We pray for those whom you call to serve the Diocese of Motherwell as priests. Inspire in them a generous response. Grant them courage and vision to serve your people. May their lives and service call your people to respond to the presence of your Spirit among us that, faithful to the Gospel and hope of Jesus the Christ, we may: announce glad tidings to the poor proclaim liberty to captives, set prisoners free and renew the face of the earth.

O God, You hold in your embrace both the sorrow and the beauty of life. Call us more deeply to embrace our mission, that in responding today to the sufferings of this world and the challenges it throws our way that we may stay at your side and there receive the gift of Christ’s Spirit, who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
Amen.
