Palm Sunday
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, the Paschal Mystery is a model for Christian life. It encourages us to live a life of holiness, humility, selflessness and love for others. In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that we may participate in Jesus’ work of redemption each time we encounter the Paschal Mystery in our everyday life. We pray to the Lord.
L. We pray for all those who are in faith formation in our parish, both children and adults, especially our Elect, that the Lord may give them the wisdom and knowledge to diligently pursue their friendship with Christ in joy, harmony and peace. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for our mission of evangelization, may we do our part in bringing new members to the Church and helping the Body of Christ grow in faith and charity. We pray to the Lord.
