INTRODUCTION Christ the Lord has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. Let us turn to him in humble but fervent petition, seeking the grace to root out from our hearts all trace of darkness, and all that holds us back from walking in the full freedom of the children of God. As Christ is our great model for that inner freedom, which enables us to do the right, let us turn to him with confidence that we, too, may follow him to the fullness of spiritual freedom. Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy; Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy. Jesus, victor over sin and death… Free our hearts. Jesus, source of light and hope… Free our hearts. Jesus, fullness of truth and mystery… Free our hearts. Jesus, teacher of seeking hearts… Free our hearts. Jesus, healer of body and soul… Free our hearts. Jesus, bringer of mercy and justice… Free our hearts....
