Your Salvation Is Our Hope

O Christ, you lightened the burdens of humanity; teach us to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill your law.  Forbid that we should think of your cross as being distant from any of us.  Lord, in your salvation of the world is our hope; let our hope become known to all the world.  Make us partners in your mission by gratefully sharing the gift of new life that was born when you gave your life for us all. In your most blessed Name, we offer this prayer.  Amen.
