Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Christ Jesus - you call us to have hope.
Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the suffering.
Priest: In these last days of the season of Easter, let us now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That God will grant us wisdom and inspire us in recognizing and using our gifts to enrich the faith community and to proclaim God’s kingdom.
2. For missionaries and preachers who spread the Gospel message, that God will inspire them to announce God’s saving love to all.
3. That all nations and peoples may recognize the value and dignity that God has given to each person and work together to bring forth the kingdom of God in the world.
4. That God will inspire our governmental leaders with courage and new understanding in the challenging decisions they have to make.
5. That God will heal victims of violence from their pain, ease their fears, and give them the courage to engage with life fully.
6. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our veterans.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence our hearts.
Priest: As we continue to celebrate the holy season of Easter, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
