Prayer over the Offerings
[Common of Doctors of the Church]
May the sacrifice which we gladly present on the feast day of blessed Bonaventure,
be pleasing to you, O God,
for, taught by him, we, too, give ourselves entirely to you in praise.
Through Christ our Lord.
[Schema 2]
As we celebrate the divine mysteries,
O Lord, we pray,
may the Holy Spirit fill us with that light of faith
by which he constantly enlightened blessed Bonaventure
for the spreading of your glory.
Through Christ our Lord.
[Common of Pastors]
Look with favor, O Lord, we pray,
on the offerings we set upon this sacred altar
on the feast day of blessed Bonaventure,
that, bestowing on us our pardon,
our oblations may give honor to your name.
Through Christ our Lord.
[Schema 2]
Receive, O Lord, these offerings of your people,
on the feast day of blessed Bonaventure,
so that through them, according to our confident hope,
we may experience the help of your loving kindness.
Through Christ our Lord.
