Lord Jesus, mediator between God and men, you chose priests to share your work,
- through them may all rise with you to the Father.
Grant that rich and poor may meet in friendship, for you are the God of both,
- do not let the rich make riches their god.
Make your Gospel known to all peoples,
- that all may come to obey you in faith.
Send forth your Spirit, gentlest of consolers,
- to wipe away the tears of all who mourn.
Purify the souls of the departed,
- and receive them into the company of your saints and chosen ones in heaven.
Our Father...
