General Intercessions
7th Sunday of Easter – May 15-16, 2021
Lector: Our response to the petitions will be “Oyenos miDios:, which is
Spanish for “Listen to your people.”
- Heavenly Father, your Son, Jesus prayed that you would watch over
those left behind. Watch over our leaders so that they may govern
with wisdom and integrity. - Let us pray for those currently running for office in our city and state
to serve on the bench of law and a new DA to enforce the law with
justice and fairness. - Holy Father, creator of our fragile home, Mother Earth, inspire us all
to make changes in our lives to protect and preserve its beauty. - On this anniversary of Laudato Si, let us embrace the words of Pope
Francis to care for our planet as we would care for our own dwellings. - God of Wisdom, shower on the scientists and doctors fighting to end
the pandemic the knowledge to quell the spread of Covid 19. - Merciful Lord, we pray for all of our brothers and sisters who have left
us to enter your eternal kingdom. Comfort those left to mourn their
passing.
