prayers of the faithful - Friday of the 3rd week of Easter - 19 April 2024

Lord Jesus - you bring us your Father’s love - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you gather your flock with joy - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you give yourself to heal us and bring us strength - Lord have mercy. 

Priest:  We make our prayers known to our loving God this morning with hope and faith:

1. For all who follow Christ, that their faith in the resurrection of Jesus may deepen. 

2. For missionaries and for all believers, that we may all spread the Good News of Jesus, and that the joy of Easter may fill all of us with fresh zeal for evangelization. 

3. For people who suffer in mind, body or spirit, that they may experience healing and new strength. We pray for all in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home. 

4. For our children, youth and families. May the Lord accompany all of them on their journey.  

5. For those who have died recently, that God’s light may shine on them perpetually. We pray in a special way for the souls in purgatory. 

6. For our first responders, the men and women in the military, and our medical professionals. 

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.  

Priest: O God our salvation, your glory shines throughout the world to bring joy to your people: hear our prayers and grant us your all-powerful grace, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
