22 May 2023 - prayers of the faithful - Monday of the 7th week of the Easter season

Lord Jesus - you are ascended into heaven. 

Christ Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father. 

Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the suffering.

In this last week of 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 cooperate with God 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 our families: that they have a good beginning to their summer vacation. 

4. For government leaders: that God will inspire them with courage and wisdom in the challenging decisions they have to make.  

5.For the sick and the shut-in.  For healing in body, mind, and spirit.  

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  For their entry into eternal life. 

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.
