RESPONSORIAL PSALM: O God, be gracious and bless us.

PALLOTTINE PRAYER

O, Lord our God, how much you love us! You gave your only Son, who in the womb of the virgin Mary became man. Your infinite mercy saw our misery. You gave us the richness of our Lord Jesus Christ himself. Sanctify our whole lives and enrich us with his merits.
