Christ the Lord gave us a new commandment, of love for each other. Let us pray to him:
Lord, build up your people in love.
Good Master, teach us to love you in our neighbor,
— and in serving them to serve you.
Lord, build up your people in love.
On the cross you asked pardon for your executioners,
— give us strength to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
Lord, build up your people in love.
Through the mystery of your body and blood, deepen our love, our perseverance and our trust,
— strengthen the weak, console the sorrowful, and give hope to the dying.
Lord, build up your people in love.
Light of the world, you gave light to the man born blind when he had washed in the pool of Siloam,
— enlighten catechumens through the water of baptism and the word of life.
Lord, build up your people in love.
Give to the dead the perfect joy of your eternal love,
— and number us also among your chosen ones.
Lord, build up your people in love.
