Prayers of the faithful Celebrant: Gathered to celebrate the good things we have received from God let us ask his help through our prayers and petitions. For Francis our Pope and for all who are shepherds in Christ’s Church, that they may guide us in the way of God’s commandments of love that we may bear fruit that will last….. Lord, hear us. For an end to war and conflict, that the innocent may be spared and the human family learn to live as one…... Lord, hear us. For the Pope’s intentions for the month of May - that religious women and men, and seminarians, grow in their own vocations and be credible witnesses to the Gospel…...Lord, hear us. For our homes and families, that they may be places of faith and forgiveness where each is respected and loved. Lord, hear us. For the sick and suffering and those who are isolated or who feel alone - that they may have healing and comfort with the help of our prayers. Lord, hear us.  Celebrant: Merciful Lord, hear our prayers and answer them according to your will and our good that we may sing a new song of your love. Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
