Easter Day
The Priest introduces the prayers:
The God who raised Jesus from the dead is the Father whose name we hallow, whose forgiveness we seek, whose will we try to follow. On this Easter day we address him in the name of the risen Lord Jesus, as we pray for the Church and for the world.
Reader:
Let us pray for those who still seek the Living God
that the Lord will choose to reveal himself to them and grant them Easter joy in his presence.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Let us pray for ourselves, the community of the resurrection:
that filled with the spirit we may recount the deeds of the Lord and lead others to believe in him.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Let us pray for the sick and those who care for them,
that the risen Christ may show them his love
and give them strength to bear their sorrows.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for those who have died,
that they may rise with Christ to glory everlasting.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We join our prayers with the joyful Queen of heaven. Hail Mary .
Let us pray in silence with all the saints who share in the power of the resurrection.
The Priest concludes the prayers:
Almighty God, hear your people who gather today to celebrate the glorious resurrection of Christ your Son. Lead us from this celebration to the joys which have no end. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
