“For Him I live: It is Christ who lives in me”

Holy Scripture

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Gal 2:20)

Prayer

Jesus,
your heart, opened on the cross,
is the great sacrament of God’s love for the world.

Grounded in the faith experience of your servant,
Leo John Dehon,
we celebrate this joyous time of jubilee.
We recall his devotion to your heart
and his commitment to social action.

Merciful Savior,
as the Dehonian family,
we wish to join in your oblation to the Father
so may you always live in us.

With the intercession of Mary,
your blessed mother,
we ask for the grace to bring
our Founder’s devotion and action
into new times and places.

Lord Jesus,
hear our prayer:
make our time of jubilee
an ever-new sign of God’s infinite love
in the heart of the world.

Amen.
