General Intercessions for the Second Sunday of Easter, Cycle C
Celebrant: Christ is Risen! It is because we now share in that Risen life that we are able to intercede for the world.
Deacon/Lector:
That the Vicar of Christ, the Pope, will experience continued grace and strength as he announces to the world that Christ is alive, we pray to the Lord...
For all who were baptized at Easter, that they may experience in the Church the communion of life and love we have inherited from the apostles, we pray to the Lord...
That the gift of forgiveness, entrusted to the Church through the apostles, may reach all who have been wounded by abortion, we pray to the Lord...
For those who, like Thomas, do not yet believe, that they may see Jesus through our words and actions of faith and charity, we pray to the Lord...
That the Risen Christ may heal the sick and comfort all who are afflicted in any way, particularly in our own families and parish, we pray to the Lord...
That the deceased may share in the Risen glory of Christ, we pray to the Lord...
Celebrant:
Father,
we acknowledge Jesus
as our Lord and our God.
Through him, grant all that we have asked you today,
for He is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
