Prayers Of The Faithful – Easter

For Pope Francis and the Universal Church as we joyfully celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection and victory over sin and death.
We pray to the Lord.

For Bishop Christian, our Parish family and the whole Diocesan Church, that we may be filled with hope this Easter as we see an end to the pandemic.
We pray to the Lord.

For the many thousands who will enter the Church this Easter through Baptism, for all of us who renew the vows of our Baptism and for each Christian facing persecution for their faith.
We pray to the Lord.

For our children and grandchildren that they will grow to cherish the Easter faith that has brought us safely through many difficulties and losses and given us reason to be joyful.
We pray to the Lord.

For people with physical or mental illness, for their families and caregivers, and for those who are lonely and discouraged, that Jesus’ Resurrection may give them light and healing.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died: Joan Davidson, Anita McNulty, John Randall, Nick van Leeuwen, Albert Dodd, Allan Savoury; that they may receive the fullness of the promise given them in Baptism.
We pray to the Lord.
