Pope Francis
The 3rd Sunday of Easter – Yr C
4th May 2025
We pray for the Church, as the Cardinals prepare to gather to elect a new Pope. May all involved be open to the Holy Spirit and filled with wisdom and courage.
Lord hear us R. Lord graciously hear us
We pray for Pope Francis; giving thanks for his life and ministry, we entrust him with confidence to God’s love. May he rest in peace.
Lord hear us R. Lord graciously hear us
We pray for peace, particularly in the Holy Land, Ukraine and Sudan: that the Risen Lord will turn hearts from violence and open new paths to peace and justice.
Lord hear us R. Lord graciously hear us
We pray for migrants and refugees: that they may be treated with dignity and brought to a place of welcome and safety.
Lord hear us R. Lord graciously hear us
We pray for our parish community and in particular for those received into the Church this Easter and those confirmed this weekend: may they be filled with the Holy Spirit and become an inspiration to us.
Lord hear us R. Lord graciously hear us
We pray for those who have died, especially Ernest Atkinson, Maria Chelvanayagam, Filomena D’Andrea, Sheila Sargent, and Christopher Wheen, may the Lord who sees everything protect them, forgive their sins, and bring them to eternal peace.
Prayer for Peace To the Creator of nature and man, of truth and beauty I pray: Hear my voice, for it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations; Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all children who suffer and will suffer when people put their faith in weapons and war; Hear my voice when I beg you to instil into the hearts of all human beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship; Hear my voice, for I speak for the multitudes in every country and in every period of history who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace; Hear my voice and grant insight and strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice, to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace. O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your everlasting peace. (Pope Saint John Paul II)
In May 2009 the Parish of the Nativity of the Lord was officially inaugurated by Bishop Kieran Conry, bringing together in a single united community worshippers from the former Parishes of St Joseph’s in Redhill, Holy Family in Reigate and St Teresa of the Child Jesus in Merstham. Whilst retaining its three Churches, the new Parish is administered as a single Parish under the care of Fr Tony Bridson. Working with Fr Tony are Deacon Tim Murrill and key groups of lay representatives from the three Churches.
