Heavenly Father, send your Holy Spirit into our hearts, to direct and rule us according to your will, to comfort us in all  our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into  all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the cross, stretching out your loving arms: Grant that all the peoples of  the earth may look to you and be saved;  for your tender  mercies’ sake. Amen.

Almighty Savior, who at noonday called your servant Saint Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles: We pray you to illumine  the world with the radiance of your glory, that all nations  may come and worship you; for you live and reign for ever  and ever. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles, “Peace I give to you; my own peace I leave with you:” Regard not our sins,  but the faith of your Church, and give to us the peace and  unity of that heavenly City, where with the Father and the  Holy Spirit you live and reign, now and for ever. Amen.
