All praise to God the Father who brought his chosen people to rebirth from imperishable seed through his eternal Word. Let us ask him as his children:
Lord, be gracious to your people.
God of mercy, hear the prayers we offer for all your people,
— may they hunger for your word more than for bodily food.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
Give us a sincere and active love for our own nation and for all mankind,
— may we work always to build a world of peace and goodness.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
Look with love on all to be reborn in baptism,
— that they may be living stones in your temple of the Spirit.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
You moved Nineveh to repentance by the preaching of Jonah,
— in your mercy touch the hearts of sinners by the preaching of your word.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
May the dying go in hope to meet Christ their judge,
— may they rejoice for ever in the vision of your glory.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
