Prayers of the faithful - sixth week of EASTER

Lord Jesus - you are our Good Shepherd.  

Christ Jesus - you give us strength.  

Lord Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love.  

Priest: Confident that the Lord’s love for us has no end, we bring forward in our prayers our needs and the needs of the whole world.

1. For those who serve and lead in the Church, that they may follow the example of Christ, the good shepherd.

2. For our medical professionals, our first responders, and the men and women in the military, that the Lord’s compassion may be visible in them.

3. For young people deciding how they will spend their lives, that they may discern their vocation in their lives and the will of the Lord for them. 

4. For farmers and those who work on the land, that they may work in harmony with God’s creation.  We pray for a bountiful harvest for them.   

5. For people who call on the name of the Lord Jesus in their sufferings, that they may experience God’s healing power. 

6. For all who have gone before us in faith, that they may see God, face to face in eternal life.  

Priest: God of beauty and compassion, you love us as a shepherd loves all the flock: continue to support your people with your grace, we pray, through Christ our Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
