Prayer of the Faithful

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice in the God who hears and answers our prayers.

For the Church,

that by sharing in Jesus’ resurrection, this Easter may mark for us a renewed commitment to our life of faith.

For world leaders,

that the Holy Spirit inspires them to pursue peace built through patient dialogue and mutual respect.

For all those received into full communion with the Church this Easter – especially Claire and Jade,

that they may continue to grow in faith and love of God.

For all those who cannot be with their families at Easter,

that they may feel the presence of Christ in their hearts.

For the people of Halewood, Hunts Cross and Woolton,

that we share the joy of this celebration in fellowship.

O God, who announced good news through the mystery of the empty tomb, fill the longing of our hearts and grant these prayers. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
