A year of intercessions
Our minister, Simon Perry, has written a
series of intercessions for use during the church year.
God of Liberation
God of liberation, we stand before you today
with all who suffer because of injustice.
With those who are hungry and thirsty, whose
food is stolen by greed, war and famine.
Lead your children to liberty
For those who are angry, bitter or imprisoned,
because of unfairness.
Lead your children to liberty
For those who have given up hope, whose grief
has no light at the end of the tunnel, who believe they have
been ignored, forgotten or betrayed.
Lead your children to liberty
For governments that could make such a difference,
but who fail to work for justice
Lead your children to liberty
For your church, when it is paralysed by
laziness, indifference or fear.
Lead your children to liberty.
God of liberation, may the glorious
light of your Gospel reach into the darkest corners of our
world and our lives, and open the eyes of your people’s
hearts, that we – even we - might embody your compassion,
your healing power, and your self-giving love.
