Parish Prayer Intentions and Petitions

Prayers of Intercession

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (year C)

16th November 2025

Let us pray with Pope Leo for an end to war and conflict, and for moral clarity in the use of AI.

Lord, in your mercy

Let us pray for all those harmed by war, especially in Palestine and Israel, Ukraine and Russia, Somalia and its neighbours, and worldwide. 

Lord, in your mercy

Let us pray to make the most we can to show faith, hope and love in the present moment, as Jesus teaches.

Lord, in your mercy

Let us pray for those without nightly shelter. May we give whatever support we can to those who support the homeless. 

Lord, in your mercy

We pray for all who are sick and for those who care for them.

Lord, in your mercy

We pray for all who have died recently especially Fr John Horn and Margaret Byrne.

We pray also for those who are bereaved, and those whose anniversaries fall about this time.

Lord, in your mercy


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)

About Us

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.

Thought for the week

We have much to gain from the source of wisdom contained in the experience of the poor. Only by relating our complaints to their sufferings and privations can we experience a reproof that can challenge us to simplify our lives.

Pope Leo XIV
