Merciful God, your love is everlasting. In hope we pray:
℟. Compassionate God, hear us.

Instill the joy of the Gospel in all the baptized. ℟.

Strengthen the faith and hope of those who are long-suffering or terminally ill. ℟.

Teach us the wisdom of simplicity and sufficiency. ℟.

Our Father . . .

May the Word of God be always in our hearts and on our lips,
by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
