Prayer of Reconciliation

Father most Holy, it is Your will that by the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, all Your children be reconciled to You, and to one another.  Our day-to-day failings interfere with Your plan of love, and so we ask Your forgiveness.

Give us a share in Your Work of unifying and building up the Church.  We ask that You give us the grace, from this day forward, to follow You and to love You with hearts renewed.

That we may cooperate in the Mystery of Redemption along the way of Calvary:

R: We wish to follow You, Lord.

That, together with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John, and Saint Mary Magdalene at the foot of the Cross, we may share in the intimate suffering of Your wounded Heart:

R: We wish to follow You, Lord.

That the message of salvation be announced everywhere:

R: We wish to follow You, Lord.

In union with all our brothers and sisters on their way toward You:

R: We wish to follow You, Lord.

And that all those who have strayed from Your Love be reunited in it:

R: We wish to follow You, Lord.

Let us pray

Lord Jesus, Who gave Yourself up completely for us and have given us Your Body and Your Blood, make us attentive to Your merciful Love and to Your Eucharistic Presence.  Unite us to Your designs for the salvation of the whole world, hour after hour, our whole life long.  Grant that, in keeping with Your wishes, we be gathered one day in You in the great glory and joy of Heaven.  Amen.
