The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath
 
Lord Jesus, Lord of the sabbath,

We give thanks to you for all that you have given us, especially for your sacrifice; through your death, you wish to present us “holy, without blemish, irreproachable before him” (Col. 1:21-23). Help us, Lord, that through your power, we may “persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the Gospel that [we have] heard.” As we celebrate your death and resurrection at your Altar, may we come with humble hearts and may you fill our hearts with your love. For you are our Lord, who lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
