Lord hear our prayer. The response is sung, Lord hear our prayer. We pray for the poor and homeless; May our loving care and concern enrich their lives. Lord hear our prayer. We pray for the people who feel rejected and alone; May a warm smile and a friendly word enrich their lonely lives. Lord hear our prayer. We pray for the people who believe that money alone can bring happiness; May their lives be enriched by discovering the joy of sharing. Lord hear our prayer. As brothers and sisters in one loving family, together let us pray to our heavenly Father:

Let us say this prayer together Loving Father, In your loving kindness hear our prayes, And help us to live as children of God Storing up treasure in heaven, As we build your precious kingdom of love. We make these prayers through Christ your Son. Amen
