Petitions to be read by Heather Carey
Archbishop:Sisters and brothers,
in these solemn funeral rites
we gather from across Australia
and from the Archdiocese of Adelaide,
let us place our brother Philip Edward,
who served as Archbishop,
into the safe and loving hands of God,
as we place these prayers before the Lord.
Reader:For Archbishop Philip,
whose life was in Christ from his baptism
and through the years of ministry,
and who felt the protection of Jesus in every
trial, that he may come to that eternal peace
found in God alone. Lord, hear us.
All:
Lord, hear our prayer
Reader:
All:
For the family of Archbishop Philip,
Joanne and Grant, Marie-Anne and Stephen,
Mark and Jacqui, and his nieces and
nephews. May they find grateful comfort
in the memory of their unique bond of love
with him, and now in their grief experience
the consolation of Christ’s blessing.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, hear our prayer
Reader:
For the people of the Archdiocese of
Adelaide, and of the State of South Australia
and the Northern Territory. That as we
honour the pastoral care and service of
Archbishop Wilson to us, we may continue
to serve and care for one another

through all the trials of life. Lord, hear us.
All:
Lord, hear our prayer
