1. Intercessions of the Day Heavenly Father: Blessed are you, Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, for by your mercy we have been reborn to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. You made us in your image and renewed us in Christ; mold us into the likeness of your Son. Pour out your love through the Holy Spirit; heal our hearts wounded by hatred and jealously. Today, grant work to laborers, bread to the hungry, joy to the sorrowful, grace and redemption to all people. [Source: Liturgy of the Hours, Week IV, Thursday Morning Prayer]
