Opening Prayer

Jesus Christ our Lord, you are almighty and have power over the universe. To the crowd pressing uponyou, you said: "Power has gone out from me." Then to the hemorrhaging woman who was healed by touching the fringe of your clothes, you said: "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace." Now we ask you to heal us from every sin, that we may stand with purity before you all the days of our lives. We raise glory and thanks to you, to your Father, and to your Holy Spirit, for ever.

From the Maronite Divine Liturgy for the Third Sunday of Great Lent.
