PRIEST: As we draw closer to Holy Week and the season of Easter joy, let us bring our prayers before the Lord who hears and answers the cries of his people.
1. For God’s holy church, inspired by the sacrifice of the martyrs throughout the ages, may it continue to boldly preach the good news of Jesus Christ, we pray to the Lord.
2. For leaders of nations, may they come together to end the scourge of COVID-19 and craft a vision for world unity, we pray to the Lord.
3. For those who are imprisoned due to political and religious beliefs, may their freedom be secured and their human rights safeguarded, we pray to the Lord.
4. For all gathered here, may any suffering we encounter serve to strengthen and perfect us in faith, we pray to the Lord.
5. For those nearing the end of life, may they be comforted and sustained by a loving community, and know deeply the tenderness of God, we pray to the Lord.
