3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
All-powerful and ever-living God, direct your love that is within us, that our efforts in the name of your Son may bring mankind to unity and peace. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, our Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
or
Almighty Father, the love your offer always exceeds the furthest expression of our human longing, foryou are greater than the human heart. Direct each thought, each effort of our life, so that the limits of our faults and weaknesses may not obscure the vision of your glory or keep us from the peace you have promised. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
