Lord Jesus - you are ascended into heaven.
Christ Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father.
Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the suffering.
Priest: As the end of the holy season of Easter draws near, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That we in the Church may continue the mission of our Savior and bring forth the reign of God through our worship, our work, and our relationships.
2. That the Holy Spirit will give us a new spirit of evangelization, guiding us to be witnesses to the saving message of our Lord Jesus Christ.
3. For the coming of Christ’s kingdom: that we may strive with great dedication to bring hatred, injustice, and the evils of society under the saving and redeeming love of Christ.
4. For all who gather here for Mass in our parish, that we may encounter Christ in our Eucharistic assembly, our families, and our communities, and in those who need our assistance.
5. For the Christian community in the Diocese of Jackson: that through our celebration of the Paschal Mystery and the Easter season, we may be renewed in spirit to live for Christ each day and place our talents and gifts in the service Christ’s kingdom.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With Easter joy in our hearts, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
