Optional Memorial of St. Thomas Becket, Bishop and Martyr
You are the Son of God, Lord Jesus. You born into the chosen people not only for their sake but for that of the whole world. You were consecrated unto the Father as the sacrificial lamb of the human race, your blood cleansing us of the burden of sin. Amen.
