Loving God, our friendship with you in Jesus gives joy to our hearts. In gratitude we pray:
Let us rejoice in you, O God.
Inspire your Church to live the joy of the Gospel.
Let us rejoice in you, O God.
Give prudence and enjoyment to lifeguards and all who recreate by the water.
Let us rejoice in you, O God.
Help us to offer a word of encouragement to those who are weary or overly burdened.
Let us rejoice in you, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the love of God shine forth in our daily living of the paschal mystery of Christ. Amen.
