8 April 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Wednesday of the Octave of Easter

Lord Jesus - you bring us the joy of the Easter season.  

Christ Jesus - you raise us to new life. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us the hope of our faith

PRIEST: As we place our needs before God, let us rejoice because Christ has triumphed over death and has brought us salvation:

1. For the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, Bishop Kopacz, and all our Church leaders. May they continue to lead the Church in witnessing to the joyful truth of the Resurrection. 

2. For all who have dedicated their lives to God. That they may be Christ’s witnesses in the world in their words and their actions. 

3. For the unemployed. For those struggling economically. For the hungry and the homeless. For those crying out for justice. That their needs be met. 

4. For the family of God gathered here at Mass today. In our Easter joy, may we bear witness to the risen Christ and reflect him in our lives. 

5. For the sick and the afflicted. For all those who need healing in body, mind, or spirit. 

6. For those who have died. That they may rise to eternal life in Christ. 

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.  

PRIEST: Almighty Father, your beloved son has risen from the dead, as he promised us. In peace and joy we present our prayers to you, through the same risen Lord, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.  Amen.
