No Introduction and no penitential rite
Priest: Our joy on Easter Saturday gives us the confidence to place our trust in God for all things. Let present our prayers for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord today:
1. That by word and example, the Church may always proclaim the glory of our Lord’s resurrection to the world. We pray to the Lord.
2. For all those being received into the Church today throughout the diocese. For the men in formation for entry into the Church here in our Catholic community at CMCF. May the Holy Spirit work within each one of them. We pray to the Lord.
3. That the peace of the risen Christ may grow in our hearts, our families, our parish, and the world. We pray for peace particularly in the Middle East. We pray to the Lord.
4. For our children and families. May they feel our love and prayers reaching out to them. May the Lord lead them and guide them and keep them safe. We pray to the Lord.
5. That the leaders of the nations of the world be illuminated by the light of the resurrection as they work for justice and peace. We pray to the Lord.
6. That all who have died may share in the eternal life of the risen Lord. We pray to the Lord.
7. That all of us gathered at Mass this weekend may live in the joy of the resurrection and in the spirit of the Eucharist. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts tonight. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of love and mercy, you raised your only begotten son from the dead to eternal life with you. Raise us out of sin and death into new life. We present our prayers to you through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
