Loving and Gracious God,
We ask You to open our hearts
to your Son’s life and ministry
and to answer the call
to be his disciples.
May our response
be rooted
in the Gospel;
may we be
ever mindful
of the needs
of our communities;
and may our stewardship flow from a
profound sense of gratitude
for Your many blessings.
By the gift of the Holy Spirit,
empower and inspire us
to respond in a way
that brings hope to others
and reveals the love
that comes to us
through Jesus Christ.
We ask this in His Name,
who is Lord
forever and ever.
Amen
