Psalm 91: 2

God, Author of innocence and lover of chastity, You conferred on Saint Maria Goretti Your handmaid the grace of martyrdom at a youthful age. Through her intercession grant us constancy in Your commandments, You who gave the crown to a virgin who fought for You. Amen

Saint Maria please pray for us!

[odhiambo]

Father, what love You have bestowed on us!
You have made us Your children.
You have sent into our hearts the Spirit of Your Son Jesus,
Who makes us call out to You : Abba! Father!
You have rescued us, Father, from the world of darkness
and placed us in the Kingdom of Your beloved Son.
You let the sun rise and the rain fall on the good and the evil alike.
You have given us the true bread of heaven.
You see the secrets of human hearts.
You know the needs of all, Father
You know all our needs even before we ask them.
We thank You Father and we glorify You for ever and ever!
Amen!

[odhiambo]

Thank you, Father,
 for having created us and given us to each other in the human family.
Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows,
 for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness.
 Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives.
Thank you for friends, for health and for grace.
 May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us.
Amen!
