Grant us the grace to walk closer with Your Son, Jesus Christ, and to remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Heal our wounds, strengthen our faith, and help us to trust in Your providence in every joy and trial to come.

Mary, Mother of God, watch over us and lead us ever closer to Your Son.
