Christ desires to lead all men to salvation. Let us implore him with all our heart:
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
Through your precious blood, Lord, you redeemed us from the slavery of sin,
— grant us the freedom of the sons of God.
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
Bestow your grace upon our bishop, and upon all bishops,
— may they administer your sacraments with fervent joy.
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
Grant that all who seek the truth may find it,
— and in finding it may they desire it all the more.
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
Be present to comfort widows, orphans and all the abandoned, Lord,
— may they feel close to you and cling to you.
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
Receive our departed brethren into the heavenly kingdom,
— where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you will be all in all.
Draw all things to yourself, Lord.
