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.
Priest: With the Easter joy of the risen Lord in our hearts, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father this morning:
1. That all our Church leaders may they learn wisdom and patience from God, leading their people in justice and peace.
2. That Christians everywhere may instruments of healing and forgiveness in our families and communities.
3. That those who suffer and are persecuted for the Gospel learn patience from their faith and be guided by Christ’s example.
4. That those who are discerning a call to ministry may recognize God’s invitation, open their hearts to God who loves them, and follow Jesus in serving others.
5. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. For healing in body, mind, and spirit.
6.For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hear in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With faith and hope in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
