Blessed be God, who hears the prayers of the needy, and fills the hungry with good things. Let us pray to him in confidence:
Lord, show us your mercy.
Merciful Father, upon the cross Jesus offered you the perfect evening sacrifice,
— we pray now for all the suffering members of his Church.
Lord, show us your mercy.
Release those in bondage, give sight to the blind,
— shelter the widow and the orphan.
Lord, show us your mercy.
Clothe your faithful people in the armor of salvation,
— and shield them from the deceptions of the devil.
Lord, show us your mercy.
Let your merciful presence be with us, Lord, at the hour of our death,
— may we be found faithful and leave this world in your peace.
Lord, show us your mercy.
Lead the departed into the light of your dwelling-place,
— that they may gaze upon you for all eternity.
Lord, show us your mercy.
