6 May 2020 - Prayers of the faithful - 4th week of the Easter season

Lord Jesus - you are the Good Shepherd - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you feed your flock - Christ have mercy. 
Lord Jesus - you bring us your father’s love - Lord have mercy. 
Filled with paschal joy, let us pray earnestly to God, that he, who graciously listened to the prayers and supplications of his beloved Son, may now be pleased to look upon us in our humility. 
1. For the shepherds of our Church, that they may have the strength to govern wisely the flock entrusted to them by the Good Shepherd, let us pray to the Lord.
2. For the whole world during this time of the pandemic, that it may truly know the peace given by Christ, let us pray to the Lord.
3. For our president, our governor and all our elected officials, that they find wisdom in their faith in God as they lead us and guide us through this crisis. 
4. For our brothers and sisters who suffer in different ways, that their sorrow may be turned to gladness which no one can take from them, let us pray to the Lord.
5. For our community, that it may bear witness with great confidence to the Resurrection of Christ, let us pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today, we pray to the Lord. 
O God, as our lives in this present age are subject to suffering and need, hear our desires as we cry to you; receive the prayers of those who believe in you. Through Christ our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
