Sunday before Lent

 

As Jesus’ first disciples

Saw him transfigured in majesty,

We pray that his glory may be seen in our lives

And in our world.

Lord of glory

 

 

 Holy God, you know the disorder of our sinful lives: set straight our crooked hearts and bend our wills to love your goodness and your glory in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us

 

Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me

Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light

 

 

Transform our lives.

May your light banish the darkness of war, selfishness and poverty 

So that we may live in peace, justice and compassion for one another.

We also pray for those still suffering from the aftermath of the recent storms. 

Our planet is a beautiful but fragile one. 

Teach us to treasure it 

So we can all share equally 

In all the good things in the wonderful world you have given us.

Lord of glory

Transform our lives.
