Deacon/Lector:
For the Holy Catholic Church throughout the world, that she may grow this night in the Risen Life of Christ, we pray to the Lord...
That the Risen Lord may illumine the minds of government leaders to enable them to protect the right to life of every human being, we pray to the Lord…
For all who are being baptized and received into the Church this night, that they may grow in holiness, we pray to the Lord...
That the light of the Risen Christ may shine upon the poor, the afflicted, the hungry, the homeless, and the unborn, we pray to the Lord...
For all who have died, that Christ, who conquered death, may welcome them to the eternal feast of life and light, we pray to the Lord...
Celebrant:
Father,
you have already granted us more than we can ask for
in the Resurrection of Christ.
As you answer our prayers,
make us ever more faithful to him,
who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
