PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
2ND SUNDAY OF EASTER YEAR: C
April 26 & 27, 2025
Like Thomas on the second appearance of Jesus to the disciples, we say: “My Lord and my God”! Jesus blessed us with his Peace, and sends us out to continue His work, from the Father.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
Lord Jesus, you have called Pope Francis to yourself. Thank you for the gift of his papacy. When he was with us, he tirelessly showed the Church your constant mercy toward sinners. Grant him now your mercy and let him rest eternally with you in your Kingdom.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
For all gathered today in the Spirit of the Risen Christ.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
We were asked to love one another, to care for those in need of food, shelter, and to care for those who answer this call.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
For all casting a ballot in upcoming elections, to remember the needs of our neighbours, at home and abroad.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
For all those who are ill, in mind, soul, and body; and for those friends, neighbours and health care providers, who reach out to help them.
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.
For those who are separated from Loved ones, know that they have been welcomed in the Love and Light of Christ Jesus. We especially remember Pope Francis; Joyce Bryk, mother of Father Daren Bryk, Alice Vail, James Ferguson, Noreen Trail, Ellen Jenkins
We pray: Strengthen our Belief, O Lord.

MINISTRIES:
LITURGY
LAY PRESIDERS:
Parishioners who lead the Assembly in prayer, chosen for their dedication to direct the celebration and to co-ordinate the companion ministries involved. Their sense of servanthood sets the mood, which is the basis for all genuine lay presiding.
LITURGY PREPARATION TEAM:
The team works to involve parishioners in both immediate and long-range ways... so learning and enjoyment are ongoing.
For more information contact Sandra McNeill 847-3611.
COMPOSING PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL:
This entails writing for the assembly, 3 or 4 times per year, those prayers that reflect the needs of the world and the parish community. Using the book At Home With The Word and following a "formula" for the prayers, the composer writes from his or her prospective with those prayers to which the assembly will respond.
For more information contact the parish at [email protected].
