God our Father, we offer You all of our prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Church throughout the world. May we be true witnesses to an ardent love for Your Son Jesus, and true Christian leaders like Fr. Tolton, with deep respect for the dignity of every human life. Give us grace and strength in facing the challenges of this day, following Your call upon our hearts, knowing that you only call us to be faithful. Amen
