Intercessions for dark places

 

 

A sung response would help in deepening people's prayer for each Intercession 

1.         Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

 

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us

            Be with those living in the darkness of illness.

            We hold in the light of Your love others known to us.

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

 

2.         Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

            Be with those in the darkness of life on the streets;

            drug-users, alcoholics,

            the mentally-ill cast adrift in a world that they cannot cope with.

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

 

 

3.         Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

            Be with those in the darkness of war and conflict;

            where violence stalks the streets ;

            where violence shares the same house.

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

 

 

4.         Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

            Be with those in the darkness of despair;

            prisoners, refugees, those who are persecuted and oppressed.

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

 

5.         Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.

            Be with us;

            where there is darkness in us, shed Your light;

            where there is love and joy, help us to let them shine out into a dark world.

            Let us be Your people of hope and light.

            Christ Jesus, Lord of Light, come to us.
