Everyone who waits for the Lord finds joy. Now we pray to him:
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
Faithful witness, first-born of the dead, you washed away our sins in your blood,
— make us always remember your wonderful works.
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
You called men to be heralds of your good news,
— make them strong and faithful messengers of your kingdom.
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
King of peace, send your Spirit on the leaders of the world,
— turn their eyes toward the poor and suffering.
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
Protect and defend those who are discriminated against because of race, color, class, language or religion,
— that they may be accorded the rights and dignity which are theirs.
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
May all who died in your love share in your happiness,
— with Mary, our mother, and all your holy ones.
Look on us with favor, Lord, and hear us.
