Praying for you Pyropam!
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:
Prayers and Intercessions
Christ rose from the dead, the first-fruits of all who slept. Let us rejoice and give him praise, saying:
- You rose from the dead: hear our prayer.
Remember, Christ, your holy Church. You founded it on the Apostles and spread it throughout the world:
give your blessing to all who believe in you.
Healer of our souls and our bodies,
come to our aid and bring us to safety.
Help the sick and give them strength:
free them from their weakness.
Help those who are weighed down with pain and oppression;
in your mercy, sustain the the poor.
Through your cross and resurrection, you opened up for all the road to eternal life:
grant that our brethren who have died may share in the joy of your kingdom.
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.
O God, your grace has made us holy when we were sinners,
full of joy when once we were sad.
Stand by us in your actions and your gifts:
we have been made holy by faith –
may we never lack the strength to perservere.
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.
