Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, seek out and restore all those who have lost their way, that we may all come together into the glory of the Kingdom of your risen Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Lord our God, you sent into the midst of faithless humanity the living Bread, your risen Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to nourish and strengthen us on the road. Through the mystery of the cross, you poured forth upon us the Spirit, the water of life. Have mercy on our lack of trust, and lead us in your ways today, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen

“For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.” ~St. Athanasius of Alexandria

O God and Father, you brought life to the whole world by the power of your word spoken into the darkness of the primal chaos; you brought new life by the power of your Word made flesh, crucified and raised for our salvation. Keep us firm in the faith which Saint Athanasius taught and for which he suffered, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen
