 The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

The Solemn Collects

Dear People of God: Our heavenly Father sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world  through him might be saved; that all who believe in him  might be delivered from the power of sin and death, and  become heirs with him of everlasting life.

We pray, therefore, for people everywhere according to their needs.
