Make us deeply aware of you. Take us fully to yourself and bind us tightly to you. Lord Jesus Christ, though you became a brother and a servant, yet you remained Our Lord. The divine service and the divine law is nothing but to love one’s brothers and sisters so that everyone does good to everyone else always urged by selfless love. St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
