Let us pray to the Father, the source of all holiness, and ask him to lead us to holiness of life through the example and intercession of his saints.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Holy Father, you want us to be called your sons and truly to be such,

— grant that your holy Church may proclaim you throughout the world.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Holy Father, you want us to walk worthily and please you in all we do,

— let us abound in doing good works.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Holy Father, you have reconciled us to yourself through Christ,

— preserve us in your name so that all may be one.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Holy Father, you have called us to a heavenly banquet,

— through the bread that came down from heaven make us worthy to grow in perfect love.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Holy Father, forgive the offenses of every sinner,

— let the dead perceive the light of your countenance.

May we be holy as you are holy.

Now… gathering our prayers and praises into one, let us together offer the prayer Christ himself has taught us

Our Father…
