Praying for your family member … and for you as well.
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:
Prayers and Intercessions
Christ, by pouring out his blood, has won for himself a new people. Let us worship him and humbly ask:
- Lord, remember your people.
Our King and Redeemer, listen to your Church as she sings your praises at the start of the day:
teach her to give unceasing glory to your greatness.
You are our hope and our strength: we put our trust in you.
Let us never be put to shame.
Take pity on our weakness. Hurry to help us,
for without you there is nothing we can do.
Remember the poor and forgotten. Let this day not be a burden to them,
but a joy and a consolation.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask you to fill our minds with your grace.
The Angel brought the news of the incarnation of Christ your Son.
By the intercession of the blessed Virgin Mary
may his passion and death bring us to the glory of the resurrection.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
