Jesus does not abandon those who hope in him; therefor, let us humbly ask him:

Our lord and our God, hear us

Christ our lite, brighten your Church with your splendor

so that it may be for the nations the great sacrament of your love

Our lord and our God, hear us

Watch over the priests and ministers of your Church,

so that after they have preached to others, they themselves may remain faithful to your service

Our lord and our God, hear us

Through your blood you gave peace to the world,

turn away the sin of strife, and the scourage of war.

Our lord and our God, hear us

O Lord, help married couples with an abundance of your grace,

so that they may better symbolize the mistery of your Church.

Our lord and our God, hear us

In your mercy forgive the sins of all the dead,

that they may live with your saints.

Our lord and our God, hear us

Now, gathering our prayers and praises into one,

let us together offer the prayer Christ himself taught us,

Our Father…
