Lord Jesus - you are the vine and we are the branches.
Christ Jesus - you lead us to new life.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope and encouragement.
With the Easter joy of the risen Lord in our hearts, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all Church leaders, may they learn wisdom and patience from God, leading their people in justice and peace.
2. For Christians everywhere: that we who have been called to follow Christ may instruments of healing and forgiveness in their families and communities.
4. For all who suffer for the Gospel: that God will give them patience and guide them in following the example of Jesus who entrusted himself to God’s providence.
5. For all who are discerning a call to ministry: that they will recognize God’s invitation, open their hearts to God who loves them, and follow Jesus in serving others.
6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hear in the silence of our hearts.
With faith and hope in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
