Friday of the octave of Easter - prayers of the faithful - 14 April 2023

Lord Jesus - You are the glory of the Father - Lord have mercy.  

Christ Jesus - You give hope to the hopeless - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - You give us strength and courage - Lord have mercy. 


Priest: We present our prayers to our merciful Father: 

1.We pray for the Church -the bride of Christ. That we may be faithful to our Savior and proclaim the joy of his Resurrection, We pray to the Lord. 

2. We pray for our Parish family. That renewed through the Easter mysteries, we live as servants and live for Christ. We pray to the Lord. 

3. We pray for all those who have been preparing for the Easter sacraments, that they continue to prepare in hope and joy and feel our love reaching out to them. We pray to the Lord. 

4. We pray for all who are struggling in their faith right now: that Christ, risen from the dead, may call their name and lead them back to the faith, We pray to the Lord. 

5. We pray for all those who have suffered tragedies. For the sick in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home. That the wounds of Christ may give them encouragement, We pray to the Lord. 

6. We pray for all those who have died. That Christ may shatter their chains and bring them to his banquet in the Father’s house. And for those prayers we hold in our hearts today.  We pray to the Lord. 

Priest: On this Friday in the Octave of Easter, we present these prayer to you heavenly Father through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
