PRAYER OF THE DAY
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and to give more than either we desire or deserve:
pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy,
forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask
but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you. Amen.

Eternal Father You call us to unselfconscious love and care for those in need and to accept the crosses.
You give us at this time knowing our reward to benter Your Kingdom is already prepared for us. In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
