Be merciful to us sinners- Lord, hear our prayer (repeat at end of each phrase)
Guide and protect your holy Church

Bring all people together in trust and peace

Jesus, Son of the loving God 
Christ, hear us- Christ hear us
Lord Jesus, hear our prayers- Lord Jesus, hear our prayer


Let us pray.
God of our ancestors who set their hearts on you, 
of those who fell asleep in peace, 
and of those who won the martyrs' violent crown:
we are surrounded by these witnesses
as by clouds of fragrant incense. 
In this age we would be counted
in this communion of all the saints;
keep us always in their good and blessed company.
In thier midst we make every prayer
through Christ who is our Lord for ever and ever.
R. Amen
