Lord Jesus - you tend your lambs - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you feed your sheep - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you shepherd your flock - Lord have mercy.
With faith and hope in the risen Christ, we present our prayer to the God of love and mercy:
1. For the Church throughout the world. May our faith in the love God has for us be expressed in our love for one another. We pray to the Lord.
2. For peace in our world. May all lands that suffer violence and injustice find peace and reconciliation. We pray to the Lord.
3. For the poor, the homeless, and for those who are unemployed. May our care and concern for those in need be a sign of God’s mercy and compassion. We pray to the Lord.
4. For the protection and sanctity of human life. May all people be treated with the dignity they deserve. May we respect all human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. We pray to the Lord.
5. For the youth of the parish who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. May they grow in wisdom and grace on their journey of faith. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the sick and shut-ins. For those battling addictions. For those who need healing and reconciliation in their lives. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Lord Jesus, who are present in our midst, we pray that you continue to lead us and guide us as we celebrate the Easter season. We present our prayers through the risen Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
