Heavenly Father, we praise and thank you for the love and mercy you have poured out on us. Thank you, Jesus, for journeying with us in this community, and for being with us in our times of crisis and trials. Thank you, Spirit, for guiding us and empowering us in our mission.

Lord, make us instruments of your love and mercy to the rest of the world. We commit to you to let your light shine through our very lives, in the way we relate in love with one another in community, and through our work of proclaiming your good news of salvation. Strengthen us in our times of trials and tribulations. Help us to carry our cross with joy and surrender totally to your divine will. Show us the way of humility and selflessness.

Lord, you called us to renew the family and to defend life. Help us to pursue our mission with courage and passion. Remind us that we are doing this to serve you and not our own agenda. We ask that you send forth your Spirit upon us to empower us. We rely only on you and on your Divine Mercy, and ask for the intercession of our dear Blessed Mother Mary.

Jesus, we trust in you. Amen.
