Lord Jesus - you call us to renewal.
Christ Jesus - you bring us peace.
Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.
With Easter joy in our hearts, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that we may be known as disciples of Jesus by the love and care that we show one another.
2. For the grace of insight: that we may recognize all that God is doing in our lives, our faith community, and the world around us so that we may cooperate in bringing forth the reign of God in our time and place.
3. For the grace to love as God has loved us: that we may have the courage to lay down our lives in service of one another and for those who are most in need.
4. For freedom of mind and heart: that God will free us from old attachments and help us follow the movement of the Spirit into new relationships and new forms of service
5. For the renewal of community life: that God will guide us in deepening our relationships, encouraging one another along life’s journey, and caring for one another as we face hardships.
6. For God’s kingdom here on earth: that God will inspire those working to end injustice and poverty, assist the elderly and homebound, and be a source of hope for all who are suffering.
With hope and love, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
