Priest: Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus, you open the way to eternal life: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you release us from the power of sin and death, Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you sent us the Holy Spirit to be our advocate: Lord, have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful
Priest: We now bring our prayers for our needs and the needs of the world to our merciful Father, led by the Holy Spirit of truth and justice:
1. That we in the holy Church may live in the light of the risen Christ and show the world the Father’s love and compassion. We pray to the Lord.
2. For peace in the world, for an end to violence and destruction. We pray that all of us may be instruments of God’s peace. We pray for peace here amongst the men and women of CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
3. For governmental leaders, that they may govern their people with wisdom and justice. We pray to the Lord.
4. For all those newly baptized this Easter season. For those who entered the Church and who received the sacrament of first holy communion.That they may feel the Holy Spirit with them and share God’s love with others. We pray to the Lord.
5. For all of our children and youth. We pray that God will continue to accompany them on their journey, especially during their summer travel and activities. We pray to the Lord.
6. As we commemorate Memorial Day, we pray for those who gave up their lives serving our country in the military. We pray for all our veterans here at CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the sick and afflicted. For healing in our lives. We pray to the Lord.
8. For those who have died. We pray to the Lord.
9. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we rejoice in the presence of your risen Son and we humbly ask you to listen our prayers today and to answer them in his name, for his is our Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
