    "In Everything, We Trust in GOD."

    Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

    Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. 

    Optional Closing Prayer

    Eternal God, in whom mercy in endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy Itself.
