Grant us Wisdom

O God of glory and compassion, you rule over the powerful of the earth and you gather up the sparrow when it falls. Grant us wisdom to see your works in our daily lives and to praise you at every turn, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

Saint Boniface

O God, by the zeal of Saint Boniface, your martyr and bishop, you called a multitude of people to the knowledge of your name. Mercifully grant that we who keep his memory today may live and serve under his protection, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Saint Charles Lawanga and Companions

O God of the martyrs, you called and strengthened Saint Charles and his companions to preach the Gospel by their steadfast fidelity to the commitment they had made in baptism, even unto death. Through their example and their intercession, strengthen us in faithfulness to the way of life which we have undertaken, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Set Us Free

Most merciful Lord and Savior, you wash away all our sins in the blood you shed upon the cross. Grant us the grace to rejoice in the freedom you have bought for us and to turn and set others free by the power of the love you have shown us, who live and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Saint Justin Martyr

O God, by the foolishness of the cross you taught the martyr Saint Justin the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ. Through his intercession, keep us steadfast in the faith for which he gave his life, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Ascension of the Lord

O God, you descended in the cloud to the Mount of Olives, as once you descended in the cloud upon Mount Sinai. On Sinai you gave the law of the covenant to Moses. On the Mount of Olives you took to yourself in glory the One who is the law of the new and eternal covenant. Let us who are the members of his body live in joyful expectation of his return, keeping faith with the covenant sealed in his blood, until that day when we can sing your praises face to face. Who lives and reigns with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
