Third Sunday of Easter

Bolster the voice of your Church, O Lord.
May we boldly proclaim the freedom of the children of God
rooted in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We pray to the Lord.

Inspire leaders in our world, church and community
to listen to the joys and sorrows of their people,
and to respond with actions imbued with humility, care and service.
We pray to the Lord.

Bring peace with justice to Ukraine, Sudan, Haiti, the Holy Land
and all places and hearts where conflict abides.
We pray to the Lord.

Provide food for our hungry, rest for our weary, clean water for our thirsty,
and solace for all who mourn.
We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our children,
who join with us for the first time at the Eucharistic table.
May the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
nourish and challenge them throughout their lives.
We pray to the Lord.

Send the Holy Spirit upon the Cardinals of our church.
Guide their discussions and give them wisdom
as they discern a new Holy Father for your people.
We pray to the Lord.

Draw us closer you to O Lord.
May we love you with the greatest love,
and our neighbors as ourselves.
We pray to the Lord.

Gather into your loving arms
(Insert Names)
and all who have died.
May they now sing forever with all heavenly court.
We pray to the Lord.
