Priest:

As we continue this Easter season, we pray confidently to Our Loving Father, calling to mind our own needs and the needs of our community.

We pray for the grace to remain faithful to God’s commandments: for a belief in the name of Jesus, and for love for one another.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our Prayer.

We pray for those who have no faith and for those who have no love for others or for themselves.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our Prayer.

We pray for those who tragically lost their lives in Saudi Arabia this week and for those who cared for them.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our Prayer.

We pray for those in need of any kind, especially those who are sick, lonely or deprived.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our Prayer.

We pray for the courage to stand up for what we believe in, following the example of St. Paul and the first disciples.

We offer these and our own private intentions to God, through the intercession of Mary, Our Mother, as we say………. Hail Mary

In the silence of our hearts we pray for ourselves and for those who are dear to us.

Lord God, we ask you to listen to the prayers we make this day, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
