Rev. Michael Cassar, Vocations Director of the Diocese of Lansing in Lansing, offered the following invocation:

 

“Heavenly Father,

We begin, as always, by giving thanks to You. Thank You for another day, thank You for bringing us here safely. Thank You for these men and women who are willing to serve their communities in their various roles. I ask that as we continue our Lenten journey, that the spirit of humility and restraint that marks this season be present for us. That we understand the need to sometimes say ‘no’ to our own interests so that we might serve with an eye towards the common good. That the message of the cross—the message of self-sacrificial love of all—might inform what we do today, and that our hearts might grow in conformity with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We ask all this through the intercession of St. Thomas More, through the intercession of St. Helena, through the intercession of St. Ephraim the Syrian, and in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
