Lord Jesus, you called me by name
And sent me to work in your vineyard.
You continue to call many women and men
To be brothers and sisters to one another
And to be open to all creation.

Teach us to be with you
To be your witnesses among our brothers and sisters. Help us to communicate the good news of your Reign,
Help us to be compassionate and
courageous in the face of so many difficulties. Help us to be committed to the building up of a better world. |
Help us to be aware each day of your call
Show us where we must be to enter into contact
with our brothers and sisters.
Show us how we can reach their hearts. |
|
|
Teach us true poverty
How to have free hearts. Fill us with an apostolic spirit
So that we may be led by your spirit to wherever the need is greatest. |
Give us your peace
Show us the paths that lead to communion
May we truly desire communion,
Proclaim it and live it always.
|
|
|
Keep us close to you
So that we may always commit ourselves
To the mission of uniting
into one family all humankind.
Amen. |
