PRAYER BEFORE MASS
O God, show the light of your truth to those who
go astray, so that they may return to the right path,
give all who for the faith they profess are accounted
Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary
to the name of Christ and to strive after all that
does it honor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your
Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. -AMEN
