Heavenly Father,
in glorifying Jesus
and sending us your Spirit,
You open the way to eternal life.

Send Your Spirit to cleanse my life

may be pleasing to You.
May my sharing in the Eucharist,
our Bread of Life,
bring me eternal life.

O most merciful Jesus,
Lover of souls,

Dear Lord! Fill our parents with Thy choicest blessings;
enrich their souls with Thy holy grace;
grant that they may faithfully
and constantly guard that likeness to Thy union with Thy Church,
which Thou didst imprint upon them on their wedding day.
Fill them with Thy spirit of holy fear,
which is the beginning of wisdom;
inspire them to impart it to their children.
May they ever walk in the way of Thy commandments,
and may we their children be their joy on earth ...
