14 April 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Tuesday of the 2nd week of Easter

Lord Jesus - You are the risen Christ. 

Christ Jesus - You are a light shining in the world. 

Lord Jesus - You are the son of God and son of Mary. 

PRIEST: The power and hope of the risen Christ fills the world with life. With joy, we bring forth our needs and the needs of the world in our prayers today. 

1. That the Church may proclaim Christ’s resurrection to the world in our words and our actions. 

2. That our Church leaders embody the hope of paschal mystery. 

3. That the leaders of the nations of the world lead their people with integrity and respect. We pray for peace throughout the world, especially in Ukraine and in the Middle Easter. 

4. That in the light of Christ's victory over death, all Christians may work together to bring the Gospel message to the world. 

5. For the sick and the afflicted. For healing for all in body, mind, and spirit. 

6. For our missionaries, for lay people serving in ministry, and for all who proclaim Christ’s Gospel message to the world. 

7. For our first responders. For our men and women serving in the military. For our veterans. For our medical professionals. 

8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.  For those who have asked for our prayers. 

PRIEST: God of glory, you know the desires of our hearts. As we celebrate the Resurrection during the Easter season, make us faithful to you in all we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
