7 May 2024 - Prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the 6th week of Easter

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love.  

Lord Jesus - you bring us redemption and salvation. 

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. For a heart of mercy: that we may put our intentions and words into action in reaching out to those in need. 

3. For all who minister in the church: that they will faithfully help others find Christ by the witness of their lives, the truth of their words, and the integrity of their actions

4. For Pope Francis and all Church leaders lay and ordained: that they may faithfully imitate Christ in accompanying the people of God on their journey and encouraging them in their lives 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 health issues. 

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.
