Christ Jesus - you bring us joy and hope - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you are the son of the Father - Lord have mercy.
Priest: Dear brothers and sisters, filled with paschal joy, let us pray earnestly to God. As God graciously listened to the prayers and supplications of his beloved Son, may he now be pleased to look upon us in our lowliness.
1. For Church and her leaders, may our lay and ordained leaders have the strength to govern wisely the flock entrusted to them by the Good Shepherd.
2. For the whole world, in the midst of a pandemic, may we find hope in our risen Lord. And may the risen Lord give our governmental leaders the wisdom and strength they need at this time.
3. For our brothers and sisters who are suffering right now, for those who need healing in their lives, may they find healing and strength. We pray for our medical professionals and those working on the front lines to provide us basic services.
4. That the Christian faithful may bear witness in confidence to the resurrection of Christ.
5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
6. For those prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest: O God, who know that our life in this present age is subject to suffering and need, hear the desires of those who cry to you; and receive the prayers of those who believe in you. Through Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
