12 May 2020 - Prayers of the faithful - 5th week of Easter

Lord Jesus - you fill us with Easter joy - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you accompany the people of God on their journey of faith - Christ have mercy. 
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope - Lord have mercy. 
Priest: Gathered around the altar of the Lord, we bring our supplications on behalf of all who are in need.
1. For the Church, that we may find ways to both preach the word and serve our neighbor, especially during this time of separation and crisis. 
2. For elected leaders, that they may serve with wisdom, compassion and humility all the people in their care. 
3. For an end to gun violence and terrorism in our nation and throughout the world. 
4. For all those who are graduating high school and college, may the Lord give them joy and encouragement as they reach this milestone in life.  
5.  That, more and more, we will come to see the Lord Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. 
6. For all who are on the frontlines of this COVID-19 pandemic, especially our health care workers and first responders, for those in essential jobs that put them at risk and in danger, may God continue to protect them and keep them in good health.
7: That all gathered in homes watching this mass may find comfort in the Lord when our hearts are troubled. 
8. For the sick and shut-in, for the faithful departed, and for those prayers we hold in our hearts today. 
Priest: God of all, you sent your only Son to us as a sign of hope and faith. Help us always to keep his way firmly in our sights as we make these prayers to you in his name, Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord forever and ever.
