Lord Jesus Christ, you called sinners and outcasts to follow you. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your Mother, grant us the grace to leave behind all the values and behaviors that tie us down to this world’s wisdom; free us to follow you, that we may share in the Easter banquet with you, who live and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen
