To Christ the Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, let us pray with joyful hearts:
Come, Lord Jesus!
Lord Jesus, in the mystery of your incarnation, you revealed your glory to the world,
— give us new life by your coming.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You have taken our weakness upon yourself,
— grant us your mercy.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You redeemed the world from sin by your first coming in humility,
— free us from all guilt when you come again in glory.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You live and rule over all,
— in your goodness bring us to our eternal inheritance.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You sit at the right hand of the father,
— gladden the souls of the dead with your light.
Come, Lord Jesus!
