This Week’s Intercessions 
The response for our Intercessions this week is:  
Quicken your Spirit within us,
O Lord, hear our prayer.

For Peace and Reconciliation - We pray for calm and a cooling of hostilities in many places around the world. We hold up to you the people of Haiti and the people of Sudan each in the midst of civil war and strife. We pray for those who are traumatized by war between nations particularly between Russia and Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and other parts of the middle east. We pray for political leaders that they may truly seek and find ways to bring peace to the many turbulent regions around the world. 

In the Wider Church and in the Anglican Communion –We pray for the Anglican Church of Tanzania. We ask you to bless the work and witness of charities that carry out loving work - for ‘Sleeping Children Around the World’, International China Concern, HOPE International, Young Life, for PWRDF of our own Anglican Church of Canada as it transitions to a new name ‘Alongside Hope’ and for the Cdn Food Grains Bank. Bless all those who seek to end hunger, build community, and work for justice in this world.
