Priest: Our joy on this holy night gives us the confidence to place our trust in God for all things. Let present our prayers for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world.
1. For the holy Church, that by word and example, we may always proclaim the glory of the resurrection of the Lord in the midst of our lived reality, we pray to the Lord.
2. That the peace that God has willed from the very moment of creation may grow in our hearts, in our families, in our community, and in the whole world, we pray to the Lord.
3. For the newly baptized and the newly initiated members of our Christian family here and throughout the world, that they may grow in our new life in Christ Jesus, we pray to the Lord.
4. For Christians around the world, that our faith in the resurrection may lead us to seek true unity in Christ, we pray to the Lord.
5. For all of us gathered at Mass this evening, that just as Christ was raised from the dead, that we too might live in newness of life, we pray to the Lord.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for our intentions spoken and unspoken, we pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of love and mercy, you raised your only begotten son from the dead to eternal life with you. Raise us out of sin and death into new life with you. We present our prayers to you this evening through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
