Lord Jesus, you are the eternal Son of the Father: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, your presence fills the universe: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you guide us home with you into bright glory: Lord, have mercy.
PRIEST: We now present our prayers for our needs, the needs of the world, and the needs of the Church to the God the Father, who sent us his son, our Lord Jesus Christ:
1. That we in the Church give glory to God the Father just as Jesus Christ has done through our lives and our service. We pray to the Lord.
2. That the leaders of our country proclaim justice and peace without regards to race, nationality, and religion. We pray to the Lord.
3. That those who entered our Catholic community at Easter may grow in their faith and understanding as disciples of Christ. We pray to the Lord.
4. For those who are persecuted for their religion, that they may receive new life and new opportunities. We pray to the Lord.
5. We give thanks for all those who serve in our Catholic community in different ways. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the sick and afflicted of our community. For those struggling with mental health issues, depression, anxiety, or addictions. We pray that we may all give up our sinful habits and lift them up to God. We pay to the Lord.
7. For those who have died. For their entry into eternal life. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.
PRIEST: God of all, we believe that we shall see the good things that you have in store for us in the land of the living. Hear the sound of our call, have mercy on us and answer us, through your son Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
