2. We pray for our Parish family. That renewed through the Easter mysteries, we live as servant and we live for Christ, We pray to the Lord. 
3. We pray for all those who have been preparing for the Easter sacraments, who are going to have reception of the sacrament delayed because of the pandemic. That they continue to prepare in hope and joy and feel our love reaching out to them. We pray to the Lord. 
4. We pray for all who are struggling in their faith right now in this time of crisis. That Christ, risen from the dead, may call their name and lead them back to the faith, We pray to the Lord. 
5. We pray for all those who have suffered tragedies. For those who are struggling with addictions. That the wounds of Christ may give them encouragement, We pray to the Lord.
