2 Saiograph The Holy Year Prayer Almighty and Eternal God, with all our heart we thank Thee for the great gift of the Holy Year. Father in heaven, who seest all things, who searchest the hearts of men and reignest over them, make all men docile- to the voice of Thy Son in this time of grace and salvation. May the Holy Year be for all of us a time for the purification of heart and the sanctification of our lives: a year of interior reflection and reparation, a year of the great return and of the great pardon. Grant to those who suffer persecution for the sake of the faith Thy spirit of fortitude which will bind them forever to Christ and to His Church. Protect, O Lord, the Vicar of Thy Son on earth, the Bishops, priests, reli- gious and lay faithful. Draw them all together-priests and people, the young, the adult and the aged-into a unity of thought and affection which will serve as a solid rock against which the fury of Thine enemies will break in vain. By Thy grace, enkindle in the hearts of all men a love for those unfor- tunate ones whom abject poverty has forced into a life beneath the dignity of a human being. Instill in the souls of those who call Thee Father a hunger and thirst for social justice and for fraternal charity, in work as well as in word. Give, O Lord, peace in our days, peace to the individual soul, peace- to families, peace to our country, peace among nations. May the rainbow of peace and reconciliation enclose within the arc of its soft-blending light the Holy Land sanctified by the life, suffering, and death of Thy divine Son. O God of every consolation! Deep is our misery, grave are our faults, innumerable our needs: but greater still, O God, is our trust in Thee. Ever conscious of our unworthiness, we, as loving sons, place our destiny in Thy hands, joining our weak prayers to the intercession and the merits of the ever glorious Virgin Mary and all the saints. Give to the sick a spirit of resignation and bless them with good health: make our young men staunch in their faith, our young women pure: give our fathers the necessary blessings of prosperity and make the life of the family holy: make our mothers capable and conscientious in educating their children: extend Thy loving care and protection to the orphans: may the refugee- and the prisoner of war return to his homeland. Shower Thy graces on all of us as a preparation and a pledge of eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
