Lord Jesus - in your words and actions, you reveal your Father’s love - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus, in your passion and death, you emptied yourself for our sake - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus, in your resurrection, you have been given the name that is above every other name - Lord have mercy.
Priest: In our commemoration of Palm Sunday, we give voice to our needs and the needs of our brothers and sisters, relying on the Lord for help, confident that the Lord will answer our prayers:
1. For the universal Church, that we may boldly testify to our faith and work tirelessly to carry out Christ’s mission, we pray to the Lord.
2. That peace may flower in the Holy Land, the Middle East, and Ukraine, spreading to the ends of the earth, we pray to the Lord.
3. For all who welcome the Lord into their lives with devotion and praise, especially those who will enter the Church on Easter weekend, we pray to the Lord.
4. For an end to the death penalty. We pray for all those in our correctional system and for those who have been affected by their crimes. We pray to the Lord.
5. For all of us who will be participating in the liturgies of holy week, that our participation may strength our commitment to carry our crosses and assist others with their crosses, 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 compassion, your son turned to you again and again in order to obey your will in the midst of his pain, suffering, and death. Give us the grace to accept your will and to carry our crosses. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
