PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2018
- In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that He is the Good Shepherd who cares for us and that He is the gate through which we can gain entry to eternal life. We pray now for the strength and perseverence to live by His commandments and earn the rewards promised by our Saviour.

- Jesus tells the apostles “ There are other sheep I have that are not of this fold and these I have to lead as well, so that they too will listen to my voice”. We pray for a church that is inclusive and a welcoming home for all those it has wrongfully alienated in the past.

- We pray for all those in our church, men and women, ordained and lay, who have been called to the role of shepherd, that they may follow closely the example of Christ and bear witness to His goodness.
