Prayers of the faithful - 3rd week of Easter - 29 April 2020

Lord Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you call us to seek you in the midst of our reality - Christ have mercy.  
Lord Jesus - you are the resurrection - Lord have mercy. 


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 inspire the members of the body of Christ to deeper reverence and prayer. 
2. That pastors may lead and serve their flock entrusted to their care with humility and wisdom. 
3. That governmental leaders reach out to their people in this challenging time in hope and unity. 
4. For all those who are sick and need healing in their lives, especially those suffering from COVID-19.  We give thanks for our medical professionals, first responders, and those on the front lines. 
5. For those prophets who God has sent to us, that we may let their message enter our hearts. 
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. 
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.
