Prayers of the Faithful
Sean & Jack
Priest:
God, the almighty Father, raised Christ his Son from
the dead; with confidence we ask him to save all his
people, living and dead:
All: For Edna who in baptism was given the pledge of
eternal life, that she may now be admitted to the
company of the saints. We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Reader:
All: For our sister Edna who ate the body of Christ, the
bread of life, that she may be raised up on the last day.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Reader:
All: For our deceased relatives and friends and for all who
have helped us, that they may have the reward of their
goodness. We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Reader:
All: For those who have fallen asleep in the hope of rising
again, that they may see God face to face.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Reader:
All: For the family and friends of our sister Edna that they
may be consoled in their grief by the Lord, who wept at
the death of his friend Lazarus. We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Reader:
All: For all of us assembled here to worship in faith, that
we may be gathered together again in God’s kingdom.
We pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Priest:
All: God, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love
to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for
our departed brothers and sisters. Cleanse them of their
sins and grant them the fullness of redemption. We ask
this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
