Prayer Petitions For May 27, 2020 – Wednesday, Seventh Week of Easter

In company with the apostles and all who have the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit, let us praise God and say:
Lord, hear our prayer.

Almighty God, you raised Christ to glory in heaven,
— may all mankind recognize his presence in the Church.
Lord, hear our prayer.

All-holy Father, you said of Christ: This is my beloved Son, hear him,
— grant that all may hear his voice and be saved.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Send your Spirit into the hearts of your faithful people,
— as cleansing water and refreshing rain.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Send your Spirit to guide the course of nature,
— and renew life over the face of the earth.
Lord, hear our prayer.

We commend to your care all who have died,
— and ask you to strengthen our hope in the resurrection to come.
Lord, hear our prayer.
