Prayer for Lent
Compassionate and merciful God, your love enfolds all that
you have made and forgiveness is offered to all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite
hearts, that, as we acknowledge our sins and wrongs done on our behalf, we may
obtain perfect forgiveness and your blessing on our mission of peace for the
people of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the people the United States of
America; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer for Iranian Christians
O merciful God, we entrust to your never failing love and
care all Iranian Christians, for this life and for the life to come. Uphold and strengthen them in faith and
support them by your gracious mercy, that your light may shine forth in their
hearts and that they may know your bountiful grace; through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
