  • You came as chief shepherd and guardian of our lives, let the Pope and Bishops be faithful channels of your many gifts of grace, we pray:
  • You once took on the weakness of our human condition, be light now for those who do not see, strength for the wavering and comfort for the troubled heart , we pray:
  • You were born into poverty and lowliness, look with favor on the poor and comfort them, we pray:
  • You are the eternal Word of God who flooded the world with joy at your birth, fill us with joy by the continuous gift of your life, we pray:
  • You are the true vine that brings forth the fruit of life, make us branches of the vine bearing much fruit, we pray:
  • You came to heal the broken, may the light of your healing shine on the sick, (including) Lou Linteurer  we pray:
