Lord Jesus - you are the Good Shepherd.
Christ Jesus - you feed your flock.
Lord Jesus - you bring us your father’s love.
Priest: Filled with paschal joy, let us pray to God, that he, who graciously listened to the prayers and supplications of his beloved Son, may now be pleased to look upon us in our humility:
1. For the shepherds of our Church. May they have the strength to govern wisely the flock entrusted to them by the Good Shepherd.
2. For the whole world, that it may truly know the peace given by Christ.
3. For our president, our governor and all our elected officials. May they find wisdom in their faith in God as they lead us and guide us.
4. For our brothers and sisters who suffer in different ways. May their sorrow be turned to gladness.
5. That we may bear witness with great confidence to the Resurrection of Christ in our community.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: As our lives in this present age are subject to suffering and need, we ask O Lord that you hear us as we cry to you. Receive the prayers of those who believe in you. Through your son Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
