Let us call in prayer upon almighty God, who raised Jesus from the dead and brought us salvation through him.

Let us pray with faith in the risen Christ that God who saves us will hear our prayers.

Blessed are we who hear the Good News and believe. With faith        we bring our prayers before our almighty and eternal God.

To the God who is for us, let us pray for faith in these great Easter mysteries of our salvation.

When we sing Hosanna, we ask God, “Pray, save us.” In praise we ask the Lord’s blessing upon our prayers.

We bring our prayers to God like grains of wheat, hoping in faith they will produce much fruit.

As we prepare ourselves to celebrate the Easter mysteries, let us pray to the God who will go to any length to love us.

Having heard of our duties to God and our neighbors, we bring our prayers before God, who reigns sovereign in our lives.

Aware that everything belongs to the Lord, we present these our prayers as a living sacrifice to our loving God.

As we begin the Lenten season of prayer and preparation, we come before God in hope of new beginnings.
