God of mercy, you pardoned the people of Nineveh when they repented at Jonah’s preaching; you have given the sign of Jonah in the Death and Resurrection of your Son, for the conversion and salvation of the world. Send heralds to proclaim your forgiveness; call all peoples to conversion; renew us in holiness, so that we may be prepared to receive at Easter those whom you have called to new life in baptism and the profession of faith, through Christ our Lord. Amen
