John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp and melodius song. With trumpets and the sound of the horn sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we might be called the children. Yet so we are.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
Please pray that my family lives very long, happy, healthy, and safe lives. Please pray that my house and family remain safe from dangers including weather, my family has no big problems, my husband makes wise decisions, and my kids are happy and do well socially and in school. Please pray my oldest son keeps a 4.0 gpa, makes A’s on his exams, and his mental health and socialization improve.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give thanks for your great glory, Lord God, Heavenly King, O God, Almighty Father.

Bless and guide the young people of this world, especially those I know, leading them toward our dear Lord and onto the right path. Please pray for the souls in purgatory. Especially the ones on my list. Finally, I ask for Your help with my finances—allow me to pay off my debts, repair what is needed, and perhaps grant me the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Guadalupe.
