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.
As the end of the holy season of Easter draws near, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that we may continue Christ’s mission here on earth, bringing forth the reign of God through our worship, our work, and our relationships each day.
2. For a renewed spirit of evangelization: that the Holy Spirit will guide us in witnessing to Jesus and all that God has done in showing compassion and forgiveness to all the world.
3. For the coming of Christ’s kingdom: that we may strive with dedication to bring hatred, injustice, and the evils of society under the saving and redeeming love of Christ.
4. For all gathered here for Mass: that we may encounter Christ in our Eucharistic assembly, in our families and communities, and in those who need our assistance.
5. For the Christian community in the Diocese of Jackson: that through our celebration of the Paschal Mystery and the Easter season, we may be renewed in spirit to live for Christ each day and place our talents and gifts in the service Christ’s kingdom.
6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
With Easter joy in our hearts, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
