Loving God, you made St. Mary Magdalene the first to proclaim the risen Lord. We rejoice with her and pray: 

Let us find our joy in you, O God.  

Animate your Church to joyfully encourage, acclaim, and appreciate the spiritual and temporal gifts of women. 

Let us find our joy in you, O God. 

Inspire us to support and encourage young people in their search for meaning and vocation. 

Let us find our joy in you, O God.  

Strengthen and support those who live the spirit of contemplative prayer. 

Let us find our joy in you, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May the joy of the risen Christ radiate our hearts and fill us with love for God, our neighbor, and all creation. Amen.
