Mary

Suggested Reading: I Peter 1:10-21

Suggested Carol: The Angel Gabriel from heaven came

Almighty and most merciful God,

who has taught us to love our neighbour as ourselves;

we remember before you this night

…all who are burdened and oppressed;

…those who are afflicted by poverty;

…those worn down by disease and illness;

…the weary and the heavy-laden;

…those oppressed by darkness and despair;

…those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.

Help them to rest in you this night.

through Jesus Christ our Lord

Amen
