Prayers of the
Faithful
(3rd
Sunday of Easter)
(Priest): The Lord sustains his people with love. In
need, we turn to him and pray:
“Lord,
keep us in your love”
(Reader):
· For the Church, the
People of God: may believers everywhere feel the power of the resurrection,
especially in times of weakness, trials, and great difficulties. We pray: (R)
· For those who
exercise authority and service in the Church and in the government: may their
love for Jesus, the Good Shepherd continue to deepen and be a perennial source
of inspiration and strength in their service to God’s people. We pray: (R)
· For the coming
elections: may everyone forsake the politics of money, fame, and patronage and
elect to office leaders who are competent, honest, and with a sincere desire to
serve. We pray: (R)
· For those who are
burdened by poverty, sickness, and big problems: may the Lord give them
protection, comfort, and strength to bear all things. We pray: (R)
· For our relatives,
friends, and loved ones: may the Lord give them constant encouragement and
guide them in peace and in safety, and may our beloved dead enter into the joy
of the heavenly kingdom. We pray: (R)
(Priest): God our Father, you restored us to yourself
through the resurrection of your Son. Hear our prayers and strengthen us in
giving witness to our Easter faith.
This we ask through Christ,
our Lord. Amen
