This Week’s Intercessions 
The response for our Intercessions this week is:  
You bless all creation with your Holy Spirit,
May we live in unity with you and one another.

Holy One, Creator God, we thank you for Your Holy Spirit who draws us, and guides us into the fulness of life. You enlighten us so that we may see your world as you see it. You speak of love for your creation so that we may hear the cries of those in despair.  You give strength to our limbs to engage with the world for justice and well-being. We thank you for our faith community as we work to bring relief to all who struggle day by day. Give us eyes and hearts to understand how we might serve.

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. We pray for those who are traumatized by war between nations particularly between Russia and Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and what seems to be an ever-widening regional conflict. We pray for political leaders that they may truly offer themselves for the good of their people and cooperate with one another within their nations and with their neighbours for the wellbeing of all.

For the Communities We thank you for our communities of Delta, Surrey, and other surrounding communities where we live remembering too, those who work on farms found here. We pray your blessing on all forms of leadership amongst us that we may live for one another, particularly as we care and give support to the homeless, the addicted, the unemployed, and others in need amongst us, yet go unseen.  We give thanks for our multicultural community and pray for opportunities to grow in our knowledge and understanding of one another.

The Church – We seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide your church all around the world; remembering our companion Diocese: The Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines, for Bishop Benny Lang-akan, clergy, & people. Our twinned parishes: St. Bede, Panabungen & St Luke, Maliten – The Rev. Albino Fag-ayan. We pray for strength, renewal, insight, and loving care. 


In the Wider Church and in the Anglican Communion – May your Spirit guide and protect churches and go before them as they share the Gospel. We pray for the Scottish Episcopal Church and for the Anglican Church in South Sudan. 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 and for the Cdn Food Grains Bank. Bless all those who seek to end hunger, build community, and work for justice in this world.
