‘Mercy that Rejoices’
Lord our God,
where two or three gather, you are there.
Open our hearts
so that we may hear your voice
and grant us the courage to follow your will.
Amen.
God of love,
during this season, we rejoice in the healing power of
your mercy.
Help us to let go of the things that paralyze us
and by your mercy, heal the wounds of our hearts.
Guide us in ways that free us to be the joyful people
we are called to be.

‘Mercy that Welcomes’
Loving and compassionate God,
be with us as we learn and pray.
Enlighten us with your spirit so that we may see
the signs before us today.
Give us hearts of compassion to see the face of
Christ in the refugee,
the homeless person
and the suffering family member.
Give us wisdom to make pathways straight and
rough roads smooth.
May we welcome the Christ child with love
and meet others with mercy that welcomes.
Help us to listen to the Word of God more intently
so that we may bring the Good News of Salvation
to all we meet.
And may we do so with patience, prayer and love.
We make this prayer in the name of Jesus, our
hope and our home.
Amen.
