Lord Jesus, you sent your disciples out in twos to take the good news of God's kingdom to all whom they met. We pray for all Christian people working together for the Gospel, especially in our own area. Help us to overcome our differences and show by our actions that you are our one Lord. Jesus, Lord of the Church, in your mercy, receive our prayer. Lord Jesus, you heard the cry of blind Bartimaeus and restored his sight. We pray for those whose lives are impaired by handicap, disability and disadvantage, especially the refugees and asylum seekers in our country. Help us to defeat selfish prejudice and bring your compassion to the vulnerable and needy. Jesus, Light of the World, in your mercy, receive our prayer. Lord Jesus, you heard the last request of the penitent thief as you hung on the Cross, and promised him a place with you in Paradise. We pray for all whose lives are in confusion and disarray, who feel unloved and unworthy and do not know where to turn. Help us to accept those whom others side-line and reject, and reassure them of your unlimited love. Jesus, friend of sinners, in your mercy, receive our prayer. (2nd part tomorrow)
