Lord Jesus - you call us to Easter joy.
Christ Jesus - you bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - you bring us the light of God's kingdom.
Priest: As we continue to celebrate the joyful seasons of Easter, we now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our growth as children of God. May God give us the grace and strength to love him with all our hearts and to follow God's law in our words and actions. We pray to the Lord.
2. For the grace of reconciliation. May God help us turn away from selfishness, forgive those who have injured us, and be instruments of peace in our society.
3. That the Holy Spirit give peacemakers wisdom and insight to help the people see the length and breadth of God’s love and mercy.
4. That God help us recognize the healing that we can experience in that sacrament of reconciliation.
5. For all who are questioning their faith or God presence in their lives. May the Holy Spirit guide them to new insights and help them recognize God’s presence through the witness of Christian’s love and service.
6. For the sick and the afflicted. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of hearts. For the prayers we hold in our hearts for our loved ones, family, and friends.
Priest: With Easter joy in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
