Fourth Sunday of Easter
Brothers and sisters, Jesus has broken down every wall that has separated us from the Father. Therefore, let us now go to the Him for our needs and those of all humanity.
That the Church may always glorify God and faithfully proclaim His Holy Gospel.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That our Patriarch, all Bishops, and Clergy may hear God’s voice and shepherd His people in the ways of the Lord.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That the Persecuted Church may glorify God in her suffering and lead her captives to repentance through her Godly witness.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That world leaders may pursue the path of true peace, which is found only in Jesus.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That we may hear and answer the call of the Holy Spirit on our lives.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That just as Jesus came so that we may have life, we may actively oppose any assault on the dignity of any human life.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
That those who are ill may receive healing and give all the glory to God, Who is our healer.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Father in heaven, we thank You for Your Son Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Hear our prayer and give us the grace to faithfully heed His voice and follow Him, for He is Lord forever more.
Amen.
