Here’s
a pastoral prayer for the Easter season from the Life in Liturgy website.
Pastoral Prayer for Easter
Lord
of life,
hear
us as we lift to you our hopes and prayers
for
the church and the world.
Let
your grace empower us as people of faith
to
better serve you in the common places of our lives,
and
in the people we meet on our faith journeys.
Open
our eyes to the living Christ
as
we pray for and work with the poor,
the
broken-hearted, the sick and the bereaved.
Hear
our prayers for those who are close to our hearts.
In
your resurrecting power,
lift
them up and give them renewed strength and hope;
and
give to us all new faith by which to live our days with you.
Then
will our lives be living witness to your resurrection,
made
whole by your love and care.
In
Christ’s Spirit we pray. Amen.
