Christ is filled with grace and the Holy Spirit. Let us proclaim his greatness and trustfully ask him:- Lord, give us your Spirit.
Make our day happy, without disturbance, without sin, so that when we reach evening we can praise you joyfully with pure hearts.

May your radiance shine on us through the day:
guide the work of our hands.
Watch over us: let us do good in peace
and do what is right, with the strength you give us.
Look kindly on all who have asked for our prayers
and fill them with good things, both in body and in soul.
