SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2021 FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

PRIEST: Knowing that we are loved and sustained by Jesus, the Good Shepherd, let us entrust all our needs to his gracious care.

1. For all who serve as shepherds to the people of God, emulating the life of Christ, may they serve with humility, gathering the scattered and protecting the weak, we pray to the Lord.

2. For elected officials in their capacity as leaders, may they model a respect and reverence for all life from conception to natural death, we pray to the Lord.

3. For all who experience physical or intellectual disability, may their struggles be few, and their gifts and talents recognized and treasured in the larger community, we pray to the Lord.

4. For all gathered here, may we be freed from anxieties and needless worry, resting secure in the arms of the Good Shepherd, we pray to the Lord.

5. For the sick of our parish, may they experience the comfort and healing of Christ the Physician, we pray to the Lord.

6. For those who have died, through the Lord’s infinite mercy, may they enjoy the fullness of what he has prepared in heaven, especially Jimmy Hai Tran, Roy Sapp, Laurie St. Claire, Dora Rodriguez, we pray to the Lord.
