Prayer of the Week
ETERNAL GOD, OUR FATHER, in this moment of prayer, may we
be inspired with a resolute determination to have a larger part in bringing to a victorious issue mankind’s struggle to build the kingdom of freedom and peace, of justice and righteousness.
Gird us with the faith and fortitude of our fathers and mothers who bequeathed us the Church, which we enjoy and charged us with the responsibility of safeguarding the great traditions of our beloved community.
May the members of this Church be sensitive and responsive to the needs of humanity and find their hearts enlarged with a vision of the dawning of a better day for all persons everywhere. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
