Lord Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love
Christ Jesus - you lead us and guide us on our journey.
Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the suffering.
As we continue our journey through the Easter season, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For wisdom: that God will inspire us in recognizing and using our gifts to enrich our faith community and to cooperate with God’s plan in bringing forth the kingdom of God in our time and place
2. For all who spread the Good News, particularly missionaries and preachers: that God will inspire them to announce God’s saving love and healing presence boldly and dynamically.
3. For the healing of racism: that all nations and peoples may recognize the value and dignity that God has given to each person and work together to bring forth the kingdom of God in the world.
4. For government leaders: that God will inspire them with courage and new understanding in the challenging decisions they have to make.
5. For all victims of violence: that God will heal their pain, ease their fear, and give them the courage to engage with life fully.
6. For the healing of the sick, and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence our hearts.
As we celebrate the coming of the holy spirit in a special in the last week of the Easter season, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
