4. For all gathered here, may we worship the Lord in truth and eagerly offer him the best of our spiritual and material treasures, we pray to the Lord.
5. For the sick and dying of our parish family, may they be nourished and comforted by medical professionals and their caregivers, we pray to the Lord.
