Together we raise our petitions and prayers to the Lord, trusting that he is the person most interested that we are happy and enjoying life in plenitude. We say, MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

* So that in our sadness, troubles and worries, we allow ourselves to be relieved by you,

MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

* Trusting that you know everything about us and you have even counted the hairs of our heads,

MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

* So that we know how to alleviate and accompany the bereavements of those who surround us,

MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

* May all christian and religious peoples allow ourselves to be raised by you and clean our sight,

MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

* For all humanity, especially for those who suffer lack of love, hunger, injustice, unemployment, fears and difficulties,

MAKE OUR HEARTS JOYFUL, FATHER

Listen, Padre, to this prayer that we present to you today, together with the bread and wine, and help us to live the happiness of knowing ourselves to be your children and brothers of everyone, Amen.
