22 May 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Friday of the 7th week of Easter

Lord Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father. 

Christ Jesus - you intercede for us. 

Lord Jesus - you are sending us the Holy Spirit

Priest - With Easter joy in our hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:

1. That our governmental and Church leaders may seek the greater good for all whom they serve.

2. That God will lead us to a deeper reliance upon his loving kindness and help us to trust in his care for us. 

3. That God will help us face the sufferings that we encounter and bear these patiently, following the example of Jesus

4. For our children and youth who received the sacraments this Easter season. For the adults who entered the Church this year. For strength and courage on their journey. 

5. For healing in mind, body, and spirit. May the wounds of Christ restore to wholeness all who are suffering, awaiting surgery, or undergoing therapy.  

6. For peace in the world, especially in the Middle East and the Ukraine.

7. For the men and women serving in the military, for our veterans, and for our first responders. 

8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

Priest: We present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
