In his mercy, God sends the Holy Spirit to shine on us, so that our lives may radiate holiness and faith. Let us raise our voices in prayer and say:
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
Lord, source of all holiness, draw bishops, priests and deacons closer to Christ through the eucharistic mystery,
— may they grow daily in the grace of their ordination.
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
Teach Christ’s faithful people to be devout and attentive at the table of his word and of his body,
— so that they may bring into their daily lives the grace they receive through faith and sacrament.
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
Grant, Lord, that we may see in each person the dignity of one redeemed by your Son’s blood,
— so that we may respect the freedom and the conscience of all.
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
Teach us to restrain our greed for earthly goods,
— and to have concern for the need of others.
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
Be merciful to your faithful people whom you have called to yourself today,
— grant them the gift of eternal happiness.
Lord, give life to your people, whom Christ has redeemed.
