Prayers for Luxembourg Mothers’ Day and Pentecost

Here are the prayers we prayed on Sunday 8th June 2025. 

The picture is a mosaic of the Holy Spirit descending on the disciples like fire at Pentecost and it was used in our service on Sunday in a slide presentation.* 

Keep us from harm and enfold us in your love, for ever.

Loving God

the former Constantinian Basilica
in Trier now the
protestant church in Trier (see above)*

Strengthen and protect your church and those that depend on her

We pray for those who can’t worship in freedom
We pray for the diocesan bishops, Robert and Andrew, and for the whole clergy team of All Saints

We pray for all small groups in the church

We thank you for the music ministry of the choir and organist and pray that they will be encouraged

 

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

 

We pray for peace and justice where there is conflict, fighting and discord, thinking of Gaza, Ukraine,  Lebanon, Syria and other places on our hearts.
We pray for people working to bring peace and justice
Guide decision makers and those in power. Give them integrity.

 

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Breathe your love and light into our darkness
And into the darkness of the world around us
Some of our neighbours are starving, sick, and sleeping on the streets
Meet their needs for water, food and healthcare

We pray for all who are displaced from their homes and unable to return

We pray for the work of organisations like the FMPO
We pray for people who are trapped in prostitution, for those who have been trafficked and for all organisations, such as Spring2Freedom, that work to alleviate their suffering

 

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

 

We pray for all families, especially mothers, on this Mother’s Day and for those who are isolated without families or friends,

We pray for single mothers and fathers, and especially for parents who are separated from their children.

We pray for those who would like to have children, and for those whose children have passed through the veil into eternity.

We pray for reconciliation and healing.

Pour your love beyond measure into our hearts for ever.

 

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

We pray especially for children and young people, for any that are lost or broken, and for all who are starting their journeys to you.

We trust your children of all ages into your hands. Lift, protect and heal them.

 

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

 

Bring your healing where we’re hurting
Heal the sick and draw close to the dying and
strengthen those that watch over them.
Bring your comfort and accompany the elderly and all those who live alone
Comfort those who mourn

We lift to You those in need who are known to us in the silence of our hearts

Maranatha

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

We pray for your creation and for the environment
Help us to celebrate your love and life in our lives

Keep vigil over us and water our vineyards

Help us to be thankful for your good gifts
Keep us from harm and enfold us in your love for ever.

 

Merciful father

For the sake of your son, our saviour, Jesus Christ.
