Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter - Prayers of the faithful - 9 April 2024

Lord Jesus - You are the resurrection and the life - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - You are a light shining in the world - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - You are the beloved son of the Father - Lord have mercy. 

PRIEST: The power and hope of the risen Christ fills the world with new life. With joy and expectation, let us bring forth our needs and the needs of the world in our prayers this evening. 

1. That the Church may proclaim Christ’s resurrection to the world in our words and our actions. 

2. That the leaders of the Church may embody the hope of paschal mystery which we celebrate in our liturgy during the Easter season. 

3. That the leaders of the nations of the world lead their people with integrity and respect. 

4. That in the light of Christ's victory over death, that all Christians may collaborate to bring the Gospel message to the world. 

5. For the sick and shut-in, for healing for all of us in body, mind, and spirit. 

6. For our missionaries, for lay people serving in ministry, and for all who proclaim Christ’s Gospel to the world. 

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

PRIEST: God of glory, you know the deepest desires of our hearts. As we celebrate the Resurrection, make us faithful to you in all we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
