Prayer of Entrustment to the Divine Mercy

O Lord, our God.  We place our trust in You, because you are mercy itself.  We repent of our sins and turn to You for mercy.  Help us to forgive others as You forgive us.   We promise to be merciful by our deeds, words and prayers.  With loud cries we implore your mercy on us and on the whole world.  Look upon us, created in your image and likeness.  May all come to know the depth of Your mercy and sing the praises of Your mercy forever. Amen!

Palm Sunday Prayer

Almighty and ever-living God, in your tender love towards us you sent your son to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross; grant that we may follow the example of the great humility and share in his glorious resurrection, through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God now and forever. Amen.

FASTING ON GOOD FRIDAY

Fasting means having only one full meal to maintain one’s strength. Two smaller, meatless and penitential meals are permitted according to one’s needs, but they should not together equal the one full meal. Eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Catholics from age 18 through 59 are bound to fast. Again, invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.
