Lord, on this glorious day when we commemorate your resurrection, we give thanks for your church and our church leaders, Michael, Greg, Berto and Hugh. May they be as strong a witness as Mary Magdalene so we may weep no more and be faithful servants.
The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Lord, we give thanks for these United States and our national, state, and local leaders. May they rule justly while keeping us safe and free.
The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

Lord, we pray for all who suffer in body, mind or spirit, from addiction, unemployment, mental illness or homelessness, particularly those we now name either silently or aloud, (pause) and especially for those on our parish prayer list… and those for whom no one prays; may they be comforted by your Holy Spirit.
The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Lord, we give thanks for the lives of our ancestors, for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. We pray for those who are near death, those who stand vigil, those who have recently died and those that mourn, may they be comforted in their belief in resurrection.
The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
