Christ is the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation, and the first to be born from the death. All things are to be reconciled through him because he made peace by his death on the cross. We pray to him:
R: Lord Jesus, come to us today.
We have been baptized into your death;-may we be cleansed of greed and envy, and clothed in the strength and gentleness of your love. R
We have been sealed with the Holy Spirit who has been given to us;-confirm us in your service, and help us to bear witness to you in the society in which we live. R
Before you suffered, you longed to eat the passover with your disciples;-as we take part in your eucharist, may we share in your resurrection. R
You continue to work in your faithful people;-create through them a new world where injustice and destruction will give way to growth, freedom and hope. R

We ask you to remember tonight those who are in great difficulty;- give new heart to those who have lost their faith in man and in God, to those who seek the truth but cannot find it. R
Remember all those who put their hope in you while they live;-through the passion and death of your Son, grant them the remission of all their sins. R
