Prayer Petitions For April 15, 2020 – Wednesday in the Octave of Easter

Christ rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father. Let us pray to him, saying:
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.

Lord, remember all who minister in your service,
— may their holy lives be an example to your people.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.

Give to those who govern us the spirit of justice and peace,
— so that the human family may live in harmony.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.

Guide our days in the way of salvation,
— and fill the earth with your plenty for the sake of the needy.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.

Christ our savior, light of the world, you have called creation from death to life,
— may your light shine for ever on our departed brothers and sisters.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
