Lord Jesus - you are the Good Shepherd.
Christ Jesus - you bring us new life.
Lord Jesus - you bring us the love of the Father.
With humble faith, we present our prayers to our loving God:
1. For all who make sacrifices to care for others: for sick children, for the developmentally disabled, for the elderly, for the terminally ill: that God will renew them and fill them with energy and love
2. For all who are searching: that the Good Shepherd will find them and lead them to a fuller life with purpose and a sense of belonging
3. For greater stewardship of the earth: that God will inspire us to care for God’s creation and ensure that it benefits all of God’s children
4. For all who are preparing for sacrament of first communion and confirmation this spring: that they will be open to the gifts that the Holy Spirit offers them and that they will enrich the church with their talents and energy.
5. For all discerning their life calling: that young people may listen carefully to God’s invitations and courageously respond to God with trusting faith and generous love.
6. For the sick and the shut-in, for the faithful departed, and for our deceased family members.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
