Mary the new Eve, God’s Goodness, and Splendor of the Lord: what of your goodness have you bestowed upon me this day?

--Intercessions
Lord, Jesus, you will come with great power, look on my lowliness and make me worthy of your gifts.
Lord, protect your people

You came to be the good news for humankind, may I always proclaim your saving work.
Lord, protect your people

You are worthy of praise, for you have life and rule all things, help me to wait in joyful hope for the coming of your glory.
Lord, protect your people

I long for the grace of your coming, console me with the gift of you own divine life.
Lord, protect your people

Our Father...
