Seventh Sunday of Easter
Presider:
We long for God’s love to be brought to perfection in us as we turn to the Father with our prayers:
Lector:
Our response is: Lord hear our prayer.
That Pope Benedict, all bishops, priests and deacons may continue to bear joyful witness before the world that Jesus is Risen and that sin and death are conquered,
We pray to the Lord.
That those who have never come to faith or who have lost their faith may be consecrated once again in the truth of God’s word,
We pray to the Lord.
That the Holy Spirit, who gives Life may breathe over our nation and create a new Culture of Life that welcomes the stranger, feeds the poor, and cherishes every child, born and unborn,
We pray to the Lord.
For an increase of vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life,
We pray to the Lord.
For the success of our 24 hour Adoration Chapel, that Jesus, who is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, will bring spiritual renewal within our parish and surrounding Catholic community.
We pray to the Lord.
For the protection of our men and women serving in the military, especially those serving in harms way and for the protection of the police and firefighters serving our community,
We pray to the Lord.
Presider:
Most Merciful Father, your kingdom rules over all. Accept the needs that we place before you, and deepen our trust and confidence in your unfailing providence. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
