Priest:
Jesus our saviour is risen from the dead! This is the bedrock of our Christian faith, and so with confidence we place our needs in the hands of the Father
Reader:
We pray for the Church. May all Christians rejoice in the resurrection of Christ and, as they renew their baptismal faith in him, may they be strengthened in the Holy Spirit. Lord, in your mercy...
We pray for true and lasting peace in our world. May the Risen Christ bring the gifts of peace and reconciliation to all situations of violence, hatred and division. Lord, your mercy...
We pray for all who have been received into the Church this Easter, and for all who have received the new life of baptism. May they grow daily in faith, hope and love. Lord, in your mercy...
We pray for the sick and housebound members of the parish. May the Risen Lord comfort and reassure them of his love. Lord, in your mercy...
We pray for those who have died, for members of our families and for our friends who have gone before us. May the Risen Lord greet them with love and mercy and grant them the happiness of his kingdom. Lord, in your mercy...
May Mary, who knew the peace and joy of this day, join her prayers to ours as we pray, HAIL MARY...
In silence, let us bring our own particular intentions to the Lord.
Priest:
God our Father, who raised Jesus from the dead, hear our prayers and if they are in accordance with your will for us grant them through Christ our Lord. Amen.
