Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Comfort us with the promise that no power on earth, not even death itself,
can separate us from your love;
and strengthen us to wait
until you are revealed to us
in all your risen glory. Amen.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
