Prayers of the People—Easter Sunday C
Jesus Christ is risen today, our triumphant holy day. Alleluia! So, let us pray to our Lord saying, “To you we offer praise eternal; Alleluia! Alleluia!”
Heavenly King, for us you endured the cross and the grave. When we were yet sinners, you redeemed and saved us. May we sing your eternal praises everywhere we go.
Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Incarnate Love, where hearts are wintry, grieving or in pain, call forth new life by your touch. Bring forth life in the barren places of this world.
Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Author of Life, you are the ruler of creation. All things created on earth sing to your glory. From the death of the winter, raise the fair beauty of earth.
Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Living Savior, you hold the future. You bless and restore our families, our communities, our world with babies and children. Though they face uncertain days, we trust them to the certainty of your endless and eternal love.
Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus the health of the world, pour out your balm on our souls and the souls of all in pain or sorrow. Be the source of life for all people.
I invite you to add your petitions and thanksgivings, followed by Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Purify us, O Lord, from all evil that we may rightly see you in the eternal light of your resurrection. By your victory, bring us from death to life eternal.
Silence
To you we offer praise eternal;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
