After reciting the antiphons and the rosary on each day say the concluding prayer:

God, heavenly Father, look upon us and hear our prayer during this holy Season of Lent. By the good works You inspire, help us to discipline our bodies and to be renewed in Spirit. Help us to know what is right and to be eager in doing Your Will. God of Love, bring us back to You.

 

The Daily Antiphons

March 25

The Son came to earth to bring the world His own Divine Life and to save it from sin, and in this way to make the world new again. Jesus offered His life as the highest gift to His Father by dying on the Cross for us. In this way He redeemed the world. The Passion and Death of our Lord teaches us the great evil of sin. It was sin, which caused Him to suffer so much and to die. But he took away our sins and made us free to serve God and to reach heaven.

 

March 26

We pray to You, dearest Jesus, for all the graces we need to know You, to love You and serve You faithfully until death, and to save our souls. Give us a tender and fervent devotion to Your Sacred Passion by which we were redeemed, venerating You especially in Holy Mass. Teach us how to unite the sorrows and sufferings in our lives with Your own.

 

March 27

We adore You as our very God, Who willed to become Man in order to save us from eternal death. We thank you as our best Friend, Who laid down Your life as proof of the greatest love possible.

 

March 28

Lord Jesus, you spoke peace to a sinful world and brought mankind the gift of reconciliation by the suffering and death you endured. We love You and joyfully bear the name ‘Christian.’ Teach us to follow your example. Increase our faith, hope and charity so that we may struggle to turn hatred to love and conflict to peace.

 

March 29

Loving Redeemer through Your passion, teach us self-denial, strengthen us against evil and adversity and so make us ready to celebrate your Resurrection. Healer of body and soul, cure the sickness in our spirit so that we may grow in holiness through Your constant care. Forgive our sins against the unity of your family; make us love as you loved us.
