the yearnings of our hearts.
Enlighten our understanding,
sustain our wills, strengthen our fidelity,
and enkindle in our hearts a holy enthusiasm,
so that, overcoming our limits,
and conquering every difficulty,
we may be able to render you,
a homage that is less unworthy of your greatness,
and of your majesty,
and more in tune with our anxieties,
and with our holy desires. Amen.

To proclaim our faith

O Lord Jesus, we await
Your last return in glory
When we eat the bread
And we drink the cup
In the blessed Eucharist,
We meet You, our risen Savior
Giving life to us anew
Through life’s journey, be with us,
To strengthen us forever.
