Monday, May 25 : The Roman Missal

God and Father of all who believe in you,
you promised Abraham that he would become the father of all nations (Gn 12,3),
and through the death and resurrection of Christ
you fulfil that promise:
everywhere throughout the world you increase your chosen people.
May we respond to your call
by joyfully accepting your invitation to the new life of grace.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Father,
even today we see the wonders
of the miracles you worked long ago.
You once saved a single nation from slavery
and now you offer that salvation to all through baptism.
May the peoples of the world become true sons of Abraham
and prove worthy of the heritage of Israel.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Father,
you increase your Church
by continuing to call all people to salvation.
Listen to our prayers
and always watch over those you clenase in baptism.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. God of unchanging power and light,
look with mercy and favor on your entire Church.
Bring lasting salvation to mankind,
so that the world may see
the fallen lifted up,
the old made new,
and all things brought to perfection,
through him who is their origin,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
