Opening Prayer
Let us pray.
O God, who raise up your priest Saint Josemaria in the Church
to proclaim the universal call to holiness and apostolate,
grant that by this intercession and example we may, through our daily work,
be formed in the likeness of Jesus your Son
and serve the work of redemption with burning love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer Over the Gifts
Let us pray.
Accept, holy Father, these gifts we offer in memory of Saint Josemaria,
and so, through the sacrifice offered by Christ on the altar of the Cross
and made present here in this sacrament, graciously sanctify all that we do.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer After Communion
Let us pray.
May the sacraments we have received, O Lord our God,
In this celebration of Saint Josemaria,
Strengthen in us the spirit of adoption as your children,
so that, in faithful adherence to your will,
we may advance joyfully along the path of holiness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
