Mass on 30/31 March (Easter Vigil or Easter Sunday)

Introduction (by the Presider) My brothers and sisters, let us give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love has no end! He answered the prayers of his Beloved Son: we trust he will help us in our needs too.

  1. That those baptised at Easter may always walk in the light (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.
  2. That all who celebrate the resurrection today may live in hope (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.
  3. That people with no faith may come to believe (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.
  4. That those in need of support may be loved (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.
  5. That people who are hungry may be fed (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.
  6. That the poor and homeless may find compassion (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.

The Presider prays for the dead: That those who have died may share the glory of the resurrection: We remember especially those who died recently (N & N) and those whose anniversaries occur (N & N) and all those who passed away since last Easter (short pause, then..) Lord, hear us.

Conclusion (by the Presider) O God our saviour and redeemer, you lead your people from defeat to triumph: hear and grant our prayers, through Christ our risen Lord. Amen.
