Easter Sunday
Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? (Luke 24:5)
Priest:
Jesus our saviour is risen from the dead! This is the bedrock of our Christian faith, so with confidence we place our needs in the hands of the Father.
Reader:
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, hear us..
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, hear us..
For all who have been received into the Church this Easter,
and for all who have received the new life of baptism.
(We pray especially for NnNn) May they grow daily in faith, hope and love. Lord, hear us..
For the sick and housebound members of the parish.
May the Risen Lord be present with them, and comfort them with the reassurance of his love.
Lord, hear us.
For those who have died, especially for those who have died recently.
May the Risen Lord greet them with love and mercy and grant them the joy of his kingdom.
Lord, hear us.
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.
