Lord Jesus - you are the vine and we are the branches.
Christ Jesus - you lead us to new life.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope and encouragement.
Priest: With the Easter joy of the risen Lord in our hearts, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all Church leaders, may they learn wisdom and patience from God, leading their people in justice and peace.
2. For Christians everywhere: that we who have been called to follow Christ may instruments of healing and forgiveness in their families and communities.
4. For all who suffer for the Gospel: that God will give them patience and guide them in following the example of Jesus who entrusted himself to God’s providence.
5. For all who are discerning a call to ministry: that they will recognize God’s invitation, open their hearts to God who loves them, and follow Jesus in serving others.
6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hear in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With faith and hope in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
