The Prayers of the People  

6th Sunday after The Epiphany - February 12, 2012

The Prayers of the People 

God’s glory has been veiled in flesh. Our flesh has become a glorious epiphany. Let us then present before the Lord of glory our gift of prayer for those who are in need, saying: Lord, hear our prayer.

For all who walk in the darkness of violence and oppression, and for all who by their life and preaching cast into that darkness the light of God’s peace and justice; let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, hear our prayer.

For all who carry on the teaching of prophets and apostles, and for the full communion in life and worship of those who receive God’s word; let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, hear our prayer.

For all who have at their disposal this world’s riches, and for all who call out to them; let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, hear our prayer.

For the births of Tillan Jane Hyde, daughter of Hunter and Raine Hyde, and Anna Philpott, daughter of Carrie and Cy Philpott, we give you thanks, and pray that they may grow in wisdom and grace; 
Lord hear our prayer.

For all who raise their eyes to the heavens looking for healing and deliverance, including Peter, Bob, Gloria, Helen, Aaron, Steve, and Pete; let us pray to the Lord. 
Lord, hear our prayer.

For all the rulers of the earth, and for every child that stands in need of their protection; let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, hear our prayer.

(Here other intercessions may be offered, either silently or aloud.)

For all who through death have passed into the full epiphany of God’s glory, including Nicholas Jackson, and the one for whom the altar flowers are dedicated: Annie Maye Clements; let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, hear our prayer.
