A year of intercessions
Our minister, Simon Perry, has written a
series of intercessions for use during the church year.
Living in the Light
Our Lord and Giver of life, lead your people
beyond the laws and structures which too easily shape us,
to the new life that liberates us. Where there is hopelessness,
frustration and despair, bring your gifts of wholeness and
liberty and life, in all its superabundance. Break through
the darkness of death, and lead your people to live in the
light.
We pray for governments which have the power
and the responsibility to bring the light of justice, to places
where darkness reigns. In the unspoken refugee crisis for
the people of Iraq, in the unending torment for those in Darfur,
in the countless hidden injustices that banish light from
your beloved children – cause your church to take action
as well as feel emotion, and governments to bring justice
as well as talk of justice. Break through the darkness of
death, and lead your people to live in the light.
Free us from the laws we create, but
which fail to bring true freedom. Bring your children to the
fullness of the life for which we have been created, that
we might mediate your living truth, reflect your glorious
light, and proclaim the new life for which all people have
been born into this world – the world which you loved
and gave yourself to save.
