Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
God who dispels all darkness, Come to be with us, in each one of our situations; Come to live among us, live with us and in us; Come to fill the distances that divide and separate us; Come to reconcile us with You and with one another. God of Light, open our hearts to the mystery of Your love and the invitation of Your grace. Let our complacency give way to conversion and our judgments to compassionate acceptance of others. Turn oppression to justice and transform conflict to peaceful accord. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Who draws near, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
