Leader: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Leader: Lift up your hearts.
All: We lift them up to the Lord.
Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

Leader: We proclaim the mystery of faith, saying:

Hear us as we pray boldly with the words that He taught us as we say together,
Our Father…Amen.
