Easter Sunday 2020

SUNDAY, April 12, 2020 Easter Sunday

PRIEST Christ, our Savior, has conquered death and intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father. Let us bring our needs, and those of our world, before the risen Lord.

1. For all disciples of the Lord, especially preachers and catechists, may they proclaim the good news of Jesus’ resurrection with fervor and joy, we pray to the Lord.

2. For the world, may the light of the risen Christ cover our planet and dispel the darkness of poverty, violence and suffering, we pray to the Lord.

3. For all members of the Holy Spirit community, by renewing the promises of our baptism, may we be strengthened and purified to live as children of light, we pray to the Lord.

4. For those suffering from physical, mental, emotional and spiritual illnesses, may Christ, the healer, bring comfort and hope, we pray to the Lord.

5. For God’s kindness, may it be placed upon those have died and have put their hope in him, we pray to the Lord.

6. Now let us pause and add our own intentions in silence (pause).

For our needs and those of one another, we pray to the Lord.

PRIEST: God of life, in Christ’s death and resurrection we are made new and become partakers in everlasting life. Hear our prayers that in keeping this Easter feast we might be renewed in the life of discipleship. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
