Easter 2 - Divine Mercy Sunday
Priest:
Let us turn to God asking for all our needs and the needs of the Church and of all mankind.
Reader:
For Pope Francis. May he draw the whole Church closer to the mercy of Jesus who enabled the apostle Thomas to move from his doubt to complete faith in Jesus, crucified and risen Lord.
Lord in your mercy
For unbelievers and doubters that they may come to faith and trust and love of God – may our Easter joy be contagious
Lord in your mercy
We pray for politicians worldwide that they may never try to outlaw faith in God and the peaceful signs and symbols of religion
Lord in your mercy
For persecuted Christians that they may feel the consoling presence of the Risen Lord and the solidarity of all the Church.
Lord in your mercy
May the Lord grant eternal rest to all who have died: especially we remember those who have no-one to pray for them.
Lord in your mercy
Let us ask Our Lady to join her prayers to ours as we say - Hail Mary
In silence let us bring our own intentions to God.
Priest:
Almighty God we ask you to answer all our prayers which we make in faith through Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
