Loving Father, May the cleansing from original sin Continue to make my spirit free, Not to do heedlessly what I want, But to choose the path You ask of me.

Lord Jesus, may I grow in faith day by day, with Mary and Joseph helping me to follow Your holy way.
Loving Father, on this day, many will struggle in the harshness of winter.
Father, our Creator, You call me ever closer, To be held and yet sent forth.
Lord God, I pray for perseverance among all who are destitute in body or spirit.
St. Gerard, who, like the Savior, loved children so tenderly and by your prayers freed many from disease and even death, listen to us who are pleading for our sick child.
