Power that heals and unites

All powerful God, you show us today your almighty power through Jesus Christ, your Only Begotten Son, who expelled all evils that oppressed and made people suffer in bondage. Drive away from us anything that hinders us to come closer to you. Send forth you holy angels to protect and guide us throughout this day.
 
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
 
St. Demetrius, pray for us.
