Intercession for Israel,
the People of the Covenant
Invocation: Come, Holy Spirit upon the Jewish people Israel, the first to hear the Word of God and prepare them for the full realization of the “hope of Israel”. Bless our elder brother, the people of your covenant.
Scripture: Gen 12:1-3; Ps 122:6; Is 62:1-2 (right); Acts 28:20; Rom 11
‘To the Jews belong the son-ship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the worship and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ.’ (Catechism of the Catholic Churce, paragraph 839)
Prayer intention: pray for the ‘shalom’, peace, of Jerusalem, for the righteousness of Jerusalem to shine before all the nations. Pray for all Jewish people in Israel and in the Diaspora.

Isaiah 62:1-2
Because I love Zion,
I will not keep still.
Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,
I cannot remain silent.
I will not stop praying for her
until her righteousness shines like the dawn,
and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
The nations will see your righteousness.
World leaders will be blinded by your glory.
And you will be given a new name
by the LORD’s own mouth.
(New Living Translation)
