Fourth Sunday of Easter
Shepherd of our Hearts,
Transform your church. Make us people of compassion, peace and mercy.
We pray to the Lord.
God of Justice, bring your justice to our world.
End war, hatred, discrimination, bitterness and the anger that leads to violence.
We remain mindful of our sisters and brothers in Haiti, Ukraine and the Holy Land.
We pray to the Lord.
Good Shepherd,
Feed your flock.
May our hungry find food; may our thirsty drink clean and healing water.
We pray to the Lord.
Lord of all creation,
Refresh the weary,
Renew the burdened,
Reconcile all who are divided.
We pray to the Lord.
King of Love,
Guide us to embrace our role as your children,
That we may invite others to experience your all-encompassing love.
We pray to the Lord.
Caring God, you are our shepherd, rock and refuge,
Protect and defend victims
of domestic violence, rape, bullying and torture.
Wrap them in your gentle arms.
We pray to the Lord.
Risen one,
Shower the Holy Spirit
On all those newly initiated as your disciples.
Draw near to them and guide them to live as your daughters and sons.
We pray to the Lord.
Shepherd of Souls,
Lead (Insert Names)
And all our dead to your heavenly banquet.
We pray to the Lord.
