Let us pray

All: Lord, we thank you for the call to be messengers of your mercy. In this Holy Year of Mercy, expand our hearts with your joy as we grow in knowledge and understanding; fill us with your confidence and courage; that we might use what we learn this day to live and work as messengers of your mercy in all things. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen
