Lord Jesus - You are the glory of the Father.
Christ Jesus - You give hope to the hopeless.
Lord Jesus - You give us strength and courage.
Priest: We present our prayers to our merciful Father in hope and trust on this Friday of the Octave of Easter:
1.That the Church, the bride of Christ, may be faithful to our Savior and proclaim the joy of his Resurrection.
2. We pray for our parish family, that renewed through the Easter mysteries, we live as servants and live for Christ.
3. For all those who have been initiated in the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass. For our children preparing for first holy Eucharist. That they may feel our love and prayers reaching out to them.
4. For all who are struggling in their faith right now. That Christ, risen from the dead, may call their name and lead them back to the faith.
5. We pray for all those who have suffered tragedies. For the sick in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home. That Christ’s presence in their lives may give them encouragement.
6. For our family members and loved ones who have died, that Christ may shatter their chains and bring them to the Father’s heavenly banquet.
7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: On this Friday in the Octave of Easter, we present these prayer to you heavenly Father, through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
