Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison” – “Lord, have mercy, Christ,
have mercy” – we pray these words of petition for all creation,
our world, ourselves, our community, the church worldwide,

be it” (“Amen”), in agreement and thankful assurance that our
help is in the name of the Lord from whom this mercy comes.
*PRAYER OF INVOCATION
Our Father God, we pray earnestly and expectantly that You will
fill our hearts and this place with Your Presence. Teach us the way
of the cross. It is a difficult life, but we trust that it is the only true
life worthy of Your Mission. Teach us the Words of Jesus and
shape our lives by them. Teach us the Deeds of Jesus and form us
by them. We are eager and ready to hear the Gospel and praise
Your Holy Name. In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
