Lector:  As we journey this week with Christ and celebrate the paschal mystery of his death and resurrection, we earnestly pray to God for those following the way of the cross and for all peoples. For the holy catholic church throughout the world, sharing the death and resurrection of Christ.   Lord, have mercy. 

For Greg our bishop, for our priest Berto, and all the holy people of God . Lord, have mercy.

For all nations, peoples, tribes, clans, and families. Lord, have mercy. 

For justice, mercy, and peace in all the world.  Lord, have mercy. 

For all who are tempted, oppressed, a?icted, or in any other need.  We remember especially those on our parish prayer list:   Lord, have mercy. 

For those who are dying, and for those who have died, we ask your comfort. We pray for those who are in grief. Lord, have mercy.

For da?odils, crocuses, and blossoming cherries, and all gloriousness of our mother earth. Lord have mercy. 

Remembering the Virgin Mary and all the saints, let us o?er ourselves to show the compassion of  Jesus the Christ to  all. Lord, have mercy.

Presider:  Blessed are you, O Lord our God, whose Son humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death. Receive the prayers we o?er this day for all those in need in every place; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
