Lord Jesus - you are a light shining in the world.
Christ Jesus - you bring healing into our lives.
Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
As we continue to celebrate this joyful Easter season, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father with faith and hope:
1. For the Church: that we may shine forth the light of Christ each day and confidently live as sons and daughters of God.
2. For those receiving the sacraments of baptism, first communion or confirmation during the Easter season: that they may faithfully follow Jesus and keep the light of Christ burning in their lives
3. For protection from violence and mass shootings: that God will protect the human family from destructive violence and the killing of innocent persons. May we all work toward reconciliation and healing in our families and in our communities.
4. For all who have died: that they may enter the eternal life of God's kingdom and be one with Him for all eternity.
5. For our children and youth: that they may live and grow in peace, celebrating God's love each day of their life, and for a good end to the school year.
6. For those who need healing body, mind and spirit.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
We present our prayers this morning through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
