Gracious God and Father,
We enter into your
presence
realizing you know us
better than we know
ourselves. You know the
cares and sufferings we
carry in our hearts. You
call us to holiness and
we trust you to lead us
together on our journey
to be a renewed Church,
for with you all things
are possible. Create us
anew in Jesus Christ
your Son. Liberate us
from all that keeps us
from you. Heal us form
every form of sin and
violence. Transform us
to live your Word more
profoundly.
Awaken us to the sacred;
rebuild trust among us.
Enliven our parishes;
reunite our families.
May your Holy Spirit
empower us to live as a
community of love, freed
to share in your work of
recreating our world and
restoring justice. We
believe you are doing
something new, calling
us to arise together in
Christ to celebrate the
fullness of life. Amen.
