Heavenly
Father,
your
Christ has risen indeed!
Dear
Lord Jesus, because you are alive, I too shall live.
Lord
Jesus Christ, you were dead and now you live forever. Fill my heart with the
joy and peace of your eternal life. Dear Jesus, without you finding me, I would
have been lost. You called me by my name, even when I did not recognize you. I
worship you, my Redeemer and my Lord.
Lord
Jesus, you are alive! Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God!
You
are truly alive! Grant me hope through the Word that shows me your hands and
feet and your side and thus grant me faith and life.
Heavenly
Lord, you made me your messenger to proclaim the forgiveness of sins. You truly
bring good news to all who receive you in faith. Oh holy Christ, my Lord and my
God! In you I find the power to live, to be free of doubt, and to know you
always.
Heavenly
Father, during this Season of Eastertide and Joy, we pray for people in every
kind of need; that they too may know your power, your protection and your love.
Heal the sick, feed and comfort the poor and console the lonely and the
forsaken.
Heavenly
Lord, make your ways known on the earth, your saving power among all nations.
We pray for the leaders of the world: may they exercise their power with
restraint.
Gracious
Father, we pray for Your Church, which you love and for which you gave your Son
on the cross of redemption. Help us to serve the Church, and help us to love
the Church, as Christ loves the Church and gives himself for her now and
always.
Lord,
we pray for our families. Protect them from danger and from temptation. We pray
for our spouses and for our children. May they learn that the fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom. We pray for our parents and relatives: teach us to
honour and love them.
We
pray for those who do not know the truth of the Gospel of the risen Christ, for
those who seek redemption, but have not yet been found. Lord, grant them a saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ.
Guide
us, o God, by your Word and Spirit that we may see your true light and, in your
Gospel, discover joy, victory, freedom and peace today.
Through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
