Jesus is Lord, born of the Virgin Mary. Let us pray to him with joyful hearts:
Come, Lord Jesus!
Son of God, you will come again as the true messenger of the covenant,
— help the world to recognize and accept you.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Born in your Father’s heart, you became man in the womb of the Virgin Mary,
— free us from the tyranny of change and decay.
Come, Lord Jesus!
In your life on earth, you came to die as a man,
— save us from everlasting death.
Come, Lord Jesus!
When you come to judge, show us your loving mercy,
— and forgive us our weaknesses.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Lord Jesus, by your death you have given hope to those who have died,
— be merciful to those for whom we now pray.
Come, Lord Jesus!
