NATIONAL LAUNCHING OF THE
EUCHARISTIC AND MARIAN YEAR

 (At the discretion of the Local Ordinary , this PRAYER maybe recited in all churches and public oratories before the prayer after Communion at all Masses on August 15. It is recited kneeling).

Lord Jesus Christ,
we solemnly inaugurate today a year of grace,
a year we dedicate to the Holy Eucharist
nd to the Blessed Virgin Mary, your Mother.
We need to experience as a nation
the transforming power of the Eucharist
For we are wounded people,
wounded by political conflicts and tribal wars,
wounded by unjust socio-economic divisions,
wounded by corruption and moral degeneration.

Lord Jesus Christ,
as often as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist,
we remember how much you love us.
let the Eucharist help us to work together as a people
so that in every home, barangay, town and city
all may live in a culture of peace, unity and renewal.
May the prayer of Mary, our Mother, accompany us
as we journey together in this year of grace
toward national healing and reconciliation.

Lord Jesus Christ,
we believe in the transforming power of the Eucharist
and we trust in the loving care of Mary, our Mother.
grant them then in your tender mercy
what we ask for in faith, hope and love. Amen
 

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
That in all things God may be glorified.
