SILENTLY BRING TO MIND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW We ask that you bless them abundantly this day and ignite in their hearts, and in ours, a desire to seek your love. Through Christ your Son, show us how we might lovingly reach out to non-churchgoing Catholics, especially those closest to us.

May we all experience this day the joy of knowing that we are your beloved sons and daughters, churchgoing or not, And give us the confidence to witness to your Son, who is the source of our life and our hope.
