Prayer Petitions For April 25, 2020 – Saturday, Saint Mark the Evangelist

Christ is our life and resurrection. Let us cry out to him with faith:
Son of the living God, protect your people.

Lord Jesus, we pray for your Catholic Church,
— make it holy, so that your kingdom may be established among all nations.
Son of the living God, protect your people.

We pray for the sick and the sorrowful, for those in bondage and in exile,
— that they may receive consolation and help.
Son of the living God, protect your people.

We pray for those who have turned away from your paths,
— that they may experience the grace of your forgiveness and the joy of rising to new life.
Son of the living God, protect your people.

Crucified and risen Savior, you will come to judge the world,
— have mercy on us sinners.
Son of the living God, protect your people.

We pray for all the living,
— and for all who have gone from us in the hope of resurrection.
Son of the living God, protect your people.
