Tuesday, March 26 : The Roman Missal

Father, your Son bequeathed to your Church
this memorial of his love;
as we call to mind his death and resurrection
we offer you the gift that you yourself have made,
the sacrifice that restores us to your grace.
Receive us also, together with your well-beloved Son;
give us in this meal your Holy Spirit:
may he disperse the cause of all that divides us
and confirm us in an even greater love,
in union with Pope Benedict XVI,
our Bishop N., the whole college of bishops
and all your people. May your Church become in this world
a visible sign of unity and servant of your peace.
And as you gather us together here
at the table of your Son,
in union with the Virgin Mary, the holy Mother of God,
and with all the saints of heaven,
grant that one day the people of all countries and languages,
of every race and culture,
may be gathered at the banquet in your heavenly kingdom.
Then we will rejoice
in a unity at last accomplished,
a peace now finally complete
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
