3. Teach us how to pray in every situation we meet, Lord, as you taught your first disciples. We Pray to the Lord…

4. Give us a deeper understanding of the Eucharistic feast we share on this night; show us how to become what we eat, the body of Christ. We Pray to the Lord…

5. Open our ears and our hearts to the story of God’s Christ which we have heard on this Holy night. We Pray to the Lord…

6. This night, help us remember that we are recipients of Jesus’ Love, a Love that is always for others. We Pray to the Lord…
