Christ Jesus - you are the only begotten son of God
Lord Jesus - you are our friend and guide
Priest: With faith in God’s promises, let us now present our needs and petitions to God.
1. For the Holy Church, that we may be strengthened in Christ, and sustained by the Holy Spirit as we teach and keep the commandments, we pray to the Lord.
2. For those in public office, that they may respond with assistance and compassion to the challenges and issues that confront us during this pandemic, we pray to the Lord.
3. For those who are having difficulty discerning their purpose or their calling, that they may recognize the movement of the Holy Spirit their lives, we pray to the Lord.
4. For all care-givers, health-care workers, first responders, and essential personnel, that they may carry Christ in their hearts as the perform their service to our community, we pray to the Lord.
5. For the children, youth and adults who continue to prepare for the Easter sacraments, that they may be nourished and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we pray to the Lord.
6. For all who are gathered today through this live-stream, that like the early disciples we may boldly proclaim Christ to others, we pray to the Lord.
7. For all who have died, (mention any names…) especially victims of COVID-19, to attain the fullness of life in the eternal kingdom, we pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of love, our refuge and our strength, hear the prayers of your Church, and grant us today what we ask of you, in faith, through Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
