With the many entanglements of life, we need Christ’s teaching and the gift of the Holy Spirit,
with its divine wisdom to show us the way of salvation. We Pray:

• That you forgive our faults and failings and that we forgive others. (Luke 11:3)
• For humility, for the humble find favour with the Lord and the Lord accepts the homage of the humble. (Ecclesiasticus 3:18)
• For wisdom of heart, that we may be filled with God’s love and rejoice in that love all our
  days. (Psalm 89:12-14)
• That we are always worthy, when in the Eucharist we partake of Christ’s flesh and
  blood, whereby Christ lives in us and we live in Christ, for he will raise us to life on the last day. (John 15:4; John 6:55)
• That with the gathering of the nations of every language; we come to witness the Glory of the Lord. (Isaiah 66:18)
• For all fathers, those who are present and those who live in our memories. We ask that
  you would guide and comfort them always.

Grant that notwithstanding the entanglements of life, Christ’s teaching lives in us and imbues us with Christ’s message of love, forgiveness and humility.
