Father, I pray, you pour out your blessings on our parish,
so that, fired with the gifts of your Spirit,
each of us may be filled with a passionate love of your Son
and a deep desire to make Him known.
Help us, despite our fears and weakness,
to be effective beacons of His light, His love, His joy.
Father, open my mind and heart
to hear your personal call to me.
Give me the generosity to respond
so that I may play my part in spreading the Good News.
Amen.
