for the whole church, the flock of Christ
for all who are newly baptised or confirmed
for those who persecute God's people, like Saul, that they may repent
for Christians who have fallen into sin, like Peter, that they may be restored to service
for the nations of the world, that the good news may be heard in every land
for those who are sick, disabled, or elderly, and who must be cared for by others
for all Christians, that we may be fishers of people, casting out the net of the gospel
Concluding prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, whenever we are discouraged in our work for the gospel, come to us and renew us again in your service through your promises and your body and blood, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
