pray

O God of all the prophets, you herald the coming of the Son of Man by wondrous signs in the heaven and on the earth. Guard our hearts from despair so that we, in the company of the faithful and by the power of your Holy Spirit, may be found ready to raise our heads at the coming near of our redemption, the day of Jesus Christ. Amen.
