God has made an everlasting covenant with his people, and he never ceases to bless them. Grateful for these gifts, we confidently direct our prayer to him:
Lord, bless your people.
Save your people, Lord,
— and bless your inheritance.
Lord, bless your people.
Gather into one body all who bear the name of Christian,
— that the world may believe in Christ whom you have sent.
Lord, bless your people.
Give our friends and our loved ones a share in divine life,
— let them be symbols of Christ before men.
Lord, bless your people.
Show your love to those who are suffering,
— open their eyes to the vision of your revelation.
Lord, bless your people.
Be compassionate to those who have died,
— welcome them into the company of the faithful departed.
Lord, bless your people.
