Understanding the Mass
Part 1 2 3 4 5

        Loving God,
        you called us each by name
        and gave your only Son to redeem us.
        In your faithfulness, you sent the Holy Spirit
        to complete the mission of Jesus among us.

        Open our hearts to Jesus.
        Give us the courage to speak His name
        to those who are close to us
        and the generosity to share His love
        with those who are far away.

        We pray that every person throughout the world
        be invited to know and love Jesus
        as Savior and Redeemer.
        May they come to know His all-surpassing love.
        May that love transform every
        element of our society.

        We ask this through Christ our Lord.
        Amen.
