General Intercessions for Easter Sunday, Cycle B

Celebrant: Christ is Risen, and the power of His resurrection fills the world today with new life. With hope and expectation, we therefore bring him all our needs.

Deacon/Lector:

That the Church may boldly and faithfully proclaim the Resurrection of Christ to those who do not yet believe in it, we pray to the Lord...

That the leaders of the Church may embody the mysteries of new life which we celebrate in our liturgy, we pray to the Lord...

That the leaders of our nations and world may give priority to those with greatest need in the distribution of the world's basic resources, we pray to the Lord...

That in the light of Christ's victory over death, nations may work together to overcome violence against all, especially the poor, the weak, and the unborn, we pray to the Lord...

That the newly baptized and confirmed, and those received into full communion with the Catholic Church, may continue to grow with this community in worship and service, let us pray to the Lord...

That those who have died may one day share in the promise of new love one for us by the resurrection, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

God of glory, you know the deepest desires of our hearts. As we celebrate the Resurrection, make us faithful to you in all we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
