Option 1
1.For the Church: that she may bear witness to God's boundless love for the whole world without exception, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
2.That those who govern may bring their works into the light — governing transparently and without hidden agendas — knowing that integrity flourishes in the open and corruption hides in the dark, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
3.For those whose deeds cannot bear the light — whose shame or addiction or secret grief keeps them from coming forward — that they may hear: God did not send the Son to condemn the world but to save it, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
4.That we may allow the Easter light to fall on whatever we are hiding — bringing it into the open before Christ who sees and does not condemn but heals, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
5.That our parish may be a community of light-bearers — where the truth is practised openly and where those living in darkness find a genuine welcome, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
Optional:For our sick, bereaved, and all who have asked for our prayers.Lord, hear our prayer.
For N. and all the faithful departed, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.

1.For the Church: that she may be a community of mercy, approaching every person with love rather than condemnation, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
2.That those in authority may govern without hidden darkness — whose public actions match their private lives — so that those they serve may trust what they are told, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
3.For all those who prefer the darkness to the light — not with condemnation but with Easter patience — that the Risen Christ may attract them toward the warmth of His presence until they are ready to step into it, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
4.That we may rest in the Easter assurance spoken today: whoever believes in the Son is not condemned — and carry that freedom into everything we do this week, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
5.That our parish may practise the truth openly — unashamed of its faith, transparent in its life — so that its works can bear the scrutiny of the light, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.

For N. and all the faithful departed, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
Pro Life Option

2.That lawmakers may bring their legislation into the light — that laws permitting abortion cannot survive honest scrutiny of what they permit — and act on what the light reveals, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
3.For women in crisis pregnancies who are making their decisions in secret and darkness, afraid to bring their situation into the light, that a trustworthy person may reach them before the decision is made, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
