- Celebrant/Cantor:
You were sent to heal our lives, Lord;
you were sent to give us life.
- Refrain:
Merciful Jesus, send your Spirit upon us.
- You were sent to show us love;
love for one another here.
- You came down to earth to heal us;
show us how to live together.
- Cleanse our lives of pain and hatred;
make us whole in love again.
- Show us your mercy, Father;
we ask this through Jesus, your Son.
- Final refrain:
Merciful Jesus, send your Spirit upon us.
- Celebrant/Cantor: Amen.
All: Amen.
