Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
Christ Jesus - you bring us your Father’s love.
Lord Jesus - you are our redeemer and our savior.
Priest; As we continue our celebration of the Easter season, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that we may allow Christ to bring forth abundant life within us and guide us in using our gifts for God’s glory.
2. That we may put our intentions and words into action in reaching out to those in need, bringing God’s mercy to others.
3. For all who minister in the church, that they will faithfully help others find Christ by the witness of their lives, by the truth of their words, and by the integrity of their actions
4. For Pope Francis and all Church leaders, both lay and ordained, that they may faithfully imitate Christ in the way they accompany the people of God on their journey of faith.
5. For healing for those who are sick in body, mind, and spirit. For healing for those battling addictions and living with mental illness.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. For our deceased loved ones and family members.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts this evening.
Priest: As we experience the joy of the Easter season in our lives of faith, we present our prayers this evening through your son Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
