Praying for Gregg, Bernice, and Karen!
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:
Prayers and Intercessions
Christ has taken pity on his hungry people and has worked wonders of love for them. In gratitude and devotion we pray to him:
Lord, we acknowledge that all the good things that came to us today came to us from your kindness.
May that kindness not be wasted on us: may it bear fruit in our hearts.
Light and salvation of all peoples, watch over those whom you have sent all over the world to bear witness to you:
kindle the fire of your Spirit within them.
Make everyone work together to make the world a more perfect place:
guide them to respond to the most urgent needs of our time.
Doctor and healer of both body and soul, soothe the sick and be close to the dying:
in your compassion come to us also, and restore our strength.
Deign to add those who have died to the number of your saints,
whose names are written in the book of life.
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 and Father, by sending the Word of truth and the Spirit of holiness into the world you revealed to mankind the great mystery of your being.
Grant that we may profess the true faith,
acknowledge the eternal glory of the Trinity,
and worship your Unity of majestic power.
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.
