This Week’s Intercessions 
The response for our Intercessions this week is:  
Holy God, full of grace, hear our prayer,
And guide us by your Spirit.

Holy God, you bring healing through the presence of your Son, Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. We reach out to touch you for your healing love for this world and all its difficulties.  We reach out to you for those we love and for ourselves.  Your power sustains us and gives us life.  Help us to walk close to you all the days of our life. Day by day we receive your refreshment, healing, and wholeness and this morning we express our gratitude for all that we receive.

For Peace and Reconciliation God of peace, touch the minds and hearts of those who are responsible for bringing peace.  Give them insight and inspiration that peace may grow with love and understanding. May there be reconciliation between nations, communities, neighbours and within families.  Protect those on the move as refugees and those who work with them. We pray for the people of Haiti. We pray for peace between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. Where humanity is fumbling to find the path that brings peace, lead us to that path where we may walk alongside one another in peace.

For the Communities May there be a spirit of cooperation in all our communities. We give thanks for our diversity and pray that all the gifts of this diversity may be welcomed and used for the greater good here in Delta and other communities where we live. 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 pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to 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 wherever the faithful are found and lead and go before them as they share the Gospel. We pray for the church in the Middle East, for the Anglican Church in South Sudan, and for Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. We pray for the witness of charities that carry out loving work - for ‘Sleeping Children Around the World’, International China Concern, HOPE International, Young Life, and for PWRDF partnering with the Canadian Food Grains Bank, seeking to quell hunger and build community in many places around the world.
