Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Christ Jesus - you are the resurrection.
Lord Jesus - you call us to Easter joy.
Priest: With Easter joy in our hearts during this 2nd week of the Easter season, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that we may bring the light of Christ into the dark corners of the world through a message of hope for all who are struggling.
2. That the newly baptized may faithfully follow Jesus and keep the light of Christ burning in their lives.
3. That Christ’s victory over death may bring hope and healing to all who are burdened by poverty, disease, prejudice and fear.
4. That those who are confused or doubting their faith may experience the Risen Lord in their lives and discover the truth through His love.
5. For vocations to religious life, the priesthood, and the diaconate; for vocations to marriage and the single life: that all may be faithful to their call in life from God.
6. For all those suffering mentally, physically or spiritually. For healing in their lives.
7. For all parishioners and loved ones who have died: that God will meet them face to face on their journey to eternal life.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present these prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
