Prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the Octave of Easter - 24 April 2025

Lord Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship.

Christ Jesus - you call us to seek you in the midst of our reality.

Lord Jesus - you are the resurrection.

Priest: Our joy is in Christ’s rising from the dead. In our Easter joy, let as present our prayers to God the Father:

1. That Pope Francis, Bishop Kopacz, and all our church leaders continue to inspire the members of the body of Christ to deepen their reverence and prayer on their journey of faith.

2. That pastors may lead and serve their flock entrusted to their care with humility and wisdom.

3. That all governmental leaders may reach out to their people in hope and unity.

4. For all those who are sick and need healing in their lives. 

5. For our medical professionals, first responders, the men and women in the military. For those on the front lines and who keep us safe.

6. For the prophets whom God has sent to us in our midst, that we may let their message enter our hearts.

6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.

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

Priest: Father, you know the many needs of your people. Hear and answer the prayers that we make through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
