The spotless Lamb of God takes away the sins of the world. Let us give thanks to the Father, and say:
Source of all life, raise us to life.
Source of all life, remember the death and resurrection of the Lamb slain on the cross.
- listen to his voice as he lives for ever, making intercession for us.
Now that the old leaven of wickedness and evil is destroyed,
- may we always feed on the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Grant that today we may put aside all friction and jealousy,
- and show greater concern for the needs of others.
Send into our hearts the spirit of the Gospel,
- that we may walk in the way of your commandments, today and forever.
Our Father...
By his own power Christ raised up the temple of his body
when it had been destroyed in death. With joy let us ask him:
Lord, share with us the fruits of your victory.
Christ our Savior, when you rose again you brought to the holy women and the apostles the joyful news of a world redeemed,
- make us witnesses to your risen life.
You promised to all people that we would rise up again to newness of life,
- make us heralds of your Gospel.
You showed yourself to your apostles and breathed the Holy Spirit on them,
- renew in us the presence of the same creator Spirit.
You promised to be with your disciples to the end of the world,
- stay with us today, and remain with us always.
Week 2 All-powerful God,
help us to proclaim the power of the Lord's resurrection.
May we who accept the sign of the love of Christ
come to share the eternal life he reveals,
for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen
Week 3 Father,
you open the kingdom of heaven
to those born again by water and the Spirit.
Increase your gift of love in us.
May all who have been freed from sins in baptism
receive all that you have promised.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Week 4 Almighty God,
as we celebrate the resurrection,
may we share with each other
the joy the risen Christ has won for us.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Week 5 Father,
you restored your people to eternal life
by raising Christ your Son from death.
Make our faith strong and our hope sure.
May we never doubt that you will fulfill
the promises you have made.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Week 6 God our Father,
may we look forward with hope to our resurrection,
for you have made us your sons and daughters,
and restored the joy of our youth.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
By his resurrection Christ has given sure hope to his people. Let us ask him with our whole hearts:
Lord Jesus, you live forever; hear our prayer.
Lord Jesus, from your wounded side flowed blood and water,
- make the Church your spotless bride.
Chief shepherd, after your resurrection you made Peter shepherd of your flock when he professed his love for you,
- increase from day to day the love and devotion of N. our Pope.
You showed your disciples how to make a great catch of fish,
- send others to continue their work as fishers of men.
At the lakeside you prepared bread and fish for your disciples,
- grant that we may never allow others to die of hunger.
Jesus, the new Adam and life-giving spirit, tranform the dead into your own likeness,
- that the fullness of your joy may be theirs.
Our Father...
As Christ lay in the darkness of the earth he saw the light of a new glory. Let us cry out to him in joy:
King of glory, hear us.
We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons: that they may be zealous in their ministry,
- and prepare for you a people devoted to every good work.
We pray for all who teach in the service of your Church –
- that they may seek your truth with a sincere heart.
We pray for you faithful people, that they may be victorious in the contest of faith.
- and win the prize of victory in your kingdom.
You cancelled our condemnation by nailing it to the cross,
- free us from our chains and lead us out of darkness.
You went down among the dead and opened for them the gates to life,
- welcome our dead brothers and sisters into your kingdom.
Our Father...
