All-loving God, your plan and design stand forever. In hope we pray: O Emmanuel, come and save us.  

You gather the weak and embrace them with tender care: make your Church a sign of your inclusive love. 

O Emmanuel, come and save us. 

You establish peace on our borders: help us to enact just laws for immigrants, refugees, and migrants.  

O Emmanuel, come and save us. 

You send out your Word to the earth: inspire catechists, pastors, parents, and all who pass on the teachings of our faith.  

O Emmanuel, come and save us. 

Our Father . . .  

May God rejoice over us in gladness and renew us in love, through Jesus, whose day draws near. Amen.
