Prayers of the People—All Saints’ Sunday B
The One who is seated on the eternal throne says, “See, I am making all things new.” Let us pray to the only One who makes us worthy, saying: “Cleanse our hands; Purify our hearts!”
God of the Saints, give us grace to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living. Embolden us to be the ones who unbind what you are bringing to new life.
Silence
Cleanse our hands;
Purify our hearts!
God of the Saints, you are the King of Glory: Guide the people of our land as we elect new leaders this Tuesday. May we never forget that you alone are our hope and salvation.
Silence
Cleanse our hands;
Purify our hearts!
God of the Saints, the earth is yours and all that is in it, the world and all who dwell therein. May we be careful with your stuff and respect all that you have made.
Silence
Cleanse our hands;
Purify our hearts!
God of the Saints, we pray for all those who partner with us as the Diocese of Ohio, especially those in our Mission Area. Knit us together in one communion and fellowship and then use us, we pray, to proclaim your Kingdom in Northern Ohio.
I ask your thanksgivings, followed by Silence
Cleanse our hands;
Purify our hearts!
God of the Saints, we hope for the day when you will wipe away the tears from all faces. Give us a glimpse of what is to come: heal and comfort those for whom we pray—especially those who mourn.
I ask your petitions, followed by Silence
Cleanse our hands;
Purify our hearts!
God of the Saints, we trust our lives and the lives of the dead to you. And we pray for the day when death will be no more, when mourning and crying and pain will be no more.
Silence
Cleanse our hands;
These are great, Jeremiah.
