Lord Jesus - you ascended into heaven - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you sent us the Holy Spirit to be our advocate - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: As we celebrate these final weeks of the Easter season, we present our prayers to the Lord:
1. For the Church: that the people of God will live with an ardent hope for eternal life with our heavenly Father.
2. That the authority of heaven may guide the actions of those who govern us here on earth.
3. That the Holy Spirit may empower each of us to carry out Jesus' mission to be witnesses of his love and mercy.
4. May we have faith in the Lord’s promise that he will always be with us.
5. For our first responders, for the men and women serving in the military, for victims of war, terrorism, and violence.
6. For the prayers and intercessions of our Blessed Mother, whom we celebrate in a special way in the month of May - that our prayers may be united with hers.
7. For the prayer intension of Pope Francis for the month of May 2018, that the laity in their efforts to evangelize may fulfill their special mission by responding with creativity to the challenges that face the world today.
Priest: Heavenly Father, as we celebrate the Ascension of your Son, we present these prayer to you through him, for he is our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
