Easter 3
‘Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.’ (John 21:19)
Priest:
Strengthened by God's word and his ever merciful love, we turn to Him with prayer for our needs and the needs of the world.
Reader:
For Pope Francis: that as the true successor of St Peter he may blend gentleness with strength in a spirit of loving mercy.
Lord, hear us.
For those who suffer for their faith, especially those in Sri Lanka and all persecuted Christians: that the risen Lord will strengthen them with his presence and enable them to see that he shares their suffering.
Lord, hear us.
For the sick and housebound members of our families and parish community: that through our spiritual and practical care, our sick brothers and sisters may feel a true sense of belonging and value.
Lord, hear us.
For all who have died: for the martyrs of Sri Lanka, and all the holy souls:
That the love and compassion of the Lord may embrace them in the peace of his kingdom.
Lord, hear us.
Let us join our prayers with those of Mary as we say, Hail Mary…
Let us bring our personal intentions to God in the silence of our hearts.
Priest:
God our Father, provide us with all the graces we need to remain faithful to you. We ask this through our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
