Fifth Sunday of Lent
Priest:
As Easter draws near, we turn in hope to our loving Father, who is present here with us, as we bring before Him our prayers and concerns for the Church and for the world.
Reader:
For the Church, Pope Francis, and all bishops, priests, deacons and consecrated people
that they will faithfully fulfil the role bestowed on them, to preach God’s covenant to the world. Lord, hear us.
For a renewal in our personal commitment to the way of Christ.
May we, like Christ, be more ready to forgive than to condemn,
and daily live our lives transformed by the Gospel message of forgiveness and mercy.
Lord, hear us.
For harmony in a troubled world.
May the coming glories and hope of the resurrection bring reconciliation and peace.
Lord, hear us.
For those who are sick; for the elderly and isolated; for those close to death and all who are troubled in mind, body or spirit.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for all who have died recently and for those whose anniversaries occur at this time. Lord, hear us.
We turn to Our Lady, refuge of sinners, as we pray Hail Mary…
In silence we now make our personal petitions to the Lord.
Priest:
Heavenly Father, hear our prayers with love and compassion,
for they are made in the name of the one whose life, death and resurrection brings salvation and hope to the whole world,
Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord. Amen
