PRAYER

Rev. Ronald Patrick Raab, C.S.C.

Ever Gracious Christ, your resurrection revealed love among your followers. In the paradox of your death, turn our grief into profound joy. Amid our uncertainty, sustain us with your healing and tender presence. May we faithfully seek you when the world abandons your words and restorative actions. May we ask on behalf of the sorrowful and anguished, your healing and forgiving mercy for all people on earth. May our voices forever sing of your glory. Amen.
