2. We begin with the Sign of Our Faith
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Amen.
3. OPENING PRAYER
Together: Worthy is the Lamb, The Lamb who was slain, who sits on
the throne. Holy, Holy, Holy is He. Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and end.To you we owe our life and our freedom. God of love and
justice, we come to You this day, asking of Your help and
presence.
Ali: For You had sent Your only Son, Jesus Christ to come to this
earth to model our way of life, yet our brothers are sisters, some
even as young as 4 to 5 years of age, are tortured while at work
all the time.
Ali: You had asked us to love within unconditional terms, and we
ask You to be near us today as we unite with our brothers and
sister in troubled areas of Pakistan. Lord, Break the chains of
every human soul and mind. God, as we remember those who are
struggling and striving for their families, food and health care,
extend your love and mercy to them, and through the power of the
Holy Spirit, give strength and protection to the families of
Pakistan, so that they would never feel the urge to give into their
fears of death from poverty, taking them to the point where
anything is possible.
Class: May you, through the power of the Catholic community and the
Catholic Church, lead the members of various international
organizations to rescue the child slaves of Pakistan.
Ali: Bless the Pakistani community and all Pakistani families so
that they too can be a source of your light and love, as they make
tough decision for their children each and everyday. For those that
have done wrong, bring them to the path ofrepentance.
AMEN
4. Reading From Scripture
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Ali: What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of
them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the
mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he
finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over
the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my
Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should
perish.(Matthew 18:12-14)
The Gospel of the Lord
(R) Praise be to you Lord Jesus Christ
