Here are this week's Prayers of the Faithful:
For Peter, James, and John, eyewitnesses of the Transfigured Lord, to intercede and give us courage as we journey to Calvary with Christ and the miracle of Easter; we pray to the Lord.
For the Church to echo the message of the Father; that all people will listen to his Son and change the world with his mercy and love; we pray to the Lord.
For our country; may the leaders of our nation make decisions which promote the Godly and constitutional values upon which it was founded, to ensure true peace, justice, and the common good; we pray to the Lord.
For Anthony Babin, Felicia Patenaude, Evan Patenaude, and Aidan Finn, who are seeking the sacraments of our faith this Easter; for the Transfigured Lord to be revealed to them in Scripture and in the Eucharist; we pray to the Lord.
For all who are ill and broken in spirit, and for Pope Francis; that all will seek Jesus for the healing that they need for their body and soul; we pray to the Lord.
For all who have gone before us, and for Pat O'Malley, who recently died, and for Lynn Pierce, Ken Desjean, Gregory Ray, Dennis Dionne, John Vorfeld, and the parishioners of Our Lady of the Lake, whom we remember at this Mass; that all souls will see the Lord in His glory; we pray to the Lord.
For all service men and women, and especially those in harm’s way, and for their loved ones; and for the intentions in our Parish Book of Prayers and on our Prayer Line; and for all those prayers deep within our hearts, that are known to God alone; we pray to the Lord.
