Prayers Of The Faithful – Easter Sunday, April 17

For the Church throughout the world, renewed by Jesus’ Resurrection to be heralds of the Good News that Jesus lives among us, drawing us to new life in Him.
We pray to the Lord.

For the newly Baptized and all who have entered the Church and received Confirmation and First Eucharist on this Easter Day.
We pray to the Lord.

For victims of war, for refugees and homeless people, that the Easter News will encourage them to hold on and endure and find reason to be hopeful again.
We pray to the Lord.

For families and friends separated by division, that this Easter may bring them closer and heal them.
We pray to the Lord.

For all who have died: Valerie Belding, Luke McKinney, Berniece Evans, Thomas Sully, Roy Shepherd, Mary Ruth Flood, Mary Barry; in the hope of the Resurrection, that Jesus will draw them close to Himself in the Joy of Heaven.
We pray to the Lord.
