18 April 2024 - Prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 3rd week of Easter

Lord Jesus - you are the Good Shepherd - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you feed your flock - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us your father’s love - Lord have mercy. 

Priest: Filled with paschal joy, let us pray earnestly to God, that he, who graciously listened to the prayers and supplications of his beloved Son, may now be pleased to look upon us in our humility. 

1. For the shepherds of our Church, that they may have the strength to govern wisely the flock entrusted to them by the Good Shepherd, we pray to the Lord.

2. For the whole world, that it may truly know the peace given by Christ, let us pray to the Lord.

3. For our president, our governor and all our elected officials, that they find wisdom in their faith in God as they lead us and guide us, we pray to the Lord. 

4. For our brothers and sisters who suffer in different ways, that their sorrow may be turned to gladness, we pray to the Lord. 

5. For our community, that we may bear witness with great confidence to the Resurrection of Christ, we pray to the Lord.

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today, we pray to the Lord. 

Priest: O God, as our lives in this present age are subject to suffering and need, hear our desires as we cry to you; receive the prayers of those who believe in you. Through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
