you did not abandon him to the power of death, but helped all men
to seek and find you.
Again and again, you offered a covenant to a man, and through the
prophets taught him to hope for salvation. Father, you so loved the
world that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our
Savior. He was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, and
born of the Virgin Mary, a man like us in all things but sin. To the
poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation, to prisoners,
freedom, and to those in sorrow, joy. In fulfillment of your will, he
gave himself up to death; but by rising from the dead, he destroyed

sacrifice which brings salvation to the whole world.

Lord, look upon this sacrifice which you have given to your Church;
and by your Holy Spirit, gather who share this bread and wine into
the one body of Christ, a living sacrifice of praise.

Lord, remember those for whom we offer this sacrifice, especially N.

our Pope, N. our Bishop and Bishops, and Clergy everywhere.
Remember those who take part in this offering, those here present
and all your people, and all who seek you with a sincere heart.
Remember those who have died in the peace of Christ and all the
dead whose faith is known to you alone.

Father, in your mercy grant also to us, your children, to enter into
our heavenly inheritance in the company of the Virgin Mary, the
Mother of God, and your apostles ad saints. Then, in your kingdom,
freed from the corruption of sin and death, we shall sing your glory
