Here are the intercessions from today's vespers.
They are good prayers as well as teachings about what we should desire.
To Christ, Emmanuel, whom the Virgin conceived and brought forth, let us give praise and pray to him: Son of the Virgin, hear us.
You gave Mary the joy of motherhood,
- give all parents true joy in their children.
King of peace, your kingdom is one of justice and peace,
- help us to seek the paths of peace.
You came to make the human race the holy people of God,
- bring all nations to acknowledge the unifying bond of your love.
By your birth you strengthened family ties,
- help families to come to a greater love for one another.
You desired to be born into the days of time,
- grant that our departed brothers and sisters may be born into the day of eternity.
Our Father . . .
