Prayers of the faithful - 3rd week of Easter - 19 April 2021
Lord Jesus - you call us to Easter joy.
Christ Jesus - you bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - you bring us the light of God's kingdom.
As we celebrate this joyful Easter season, we now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our growth as children of God: that God will give us the grace and strength to love God with all our hearts and follow God's law and commandments in our words and actions, we pray to the Lord.
2. For the grace of reconciliation: that God will help us to turn from selfishness, forgive those who have injured us, and be instruments of reconciliation in our society.
3. For peacemakers: that the Holy Spirit will give them wisdom and insight to help others recognize to the length and breadth of God’s love and mercy.
4. For a renewed desire for the sacrament of reconciliation: that God will help us recognize the healing that one can experience in that sacrament.
5. For all who are questioning their faith or God presence in their lives: that the Spirit will guide them to new insights and help them recognize God’s presence through the witness of Christian’s love and service.
6. For the sick and the shut-in and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of hearts. For the prayers we send out to our loved ones, family, and friends.
With Easter joy in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
