Lord Jesus, you call us out of our complacency.
Christ Jesus, you are the Messiah, the son of God.
Lord Jesus, you are the way that leads us to new life.
Priest: We place our trust in the Lord, that God will hear our voices as we call out to him in supplication with our needs, the needs of our neighbor, and the needs of the Church:
1. For God’s holy Church, that we may loosen all that binds us to sin and death, bringing forgiveness, reconciliation and new life to those in darkness. We pray to the Lord.
2. That the nations of the world may put down their weapons of destruction. May we all work toward peace and justice. We pray to the Lord.
3. For those who suffer with addiction mental illness, and depressions, that they may find the strength and courage in their journey, we pray to the Lord.
4. For those who will enter the Church on Easter weekend and for our children and youth preparing for the sacraments. For the new life and the blessings they will receive from Christ, we pray to the Lord.
5. That we may reach out in mercy and understanding to those who are constrained by sin and hate, 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, we pray to the Lord.
Priest: Merciful God, you give us hope in the midst of despair and you bring us light in the darkness. We make our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
