INTERCESSIONS
We trust in God’s concern for every person he has created and redeemed through his Son. Let us, therefore, renew our prayer to him:
O God of mercy, guide us toward spiritual growth,
For your name’s sake, do not abandon us for ever,
Accept us, for our hearts are humble and our spirits contrite,
You have called us to a prophetic vocation in Christ,
Our Father who art in heaven,
Concluding Prayer
Lord,
DISMISSAL
May the Lord bless us,
