By his resurrection Christ has given sure hope to his people. Let us ask him with our whole hearts:
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
Lord Jesus, from your wounded side flowed blood and water,
— make the Church your spotless bride.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
Chief shepherd, after your resurrection you made Peter shepherd of your flock when he professed his love for you,
— increase from day to day the love and devotion of Francis, our Pope.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
You showed your disciples how to make a great catch of fish,
— send others to continue their work as fishers of men.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
At the lakeside you prepared bread and fish for your disciples,
— grant that we may never allow others to die of hunger.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
Jesus, the new Adam and life-giving spirit, transform the dead into your own likeness,
— that the fullness of your joy may be theirs.
Lord Jesus, you live for ever; hear our prayer.
