This Week's St Matthew Bulletin
Prayer During Time of Transition
O Faithful God, as your people,
we cherish our memories
and our history as a sacred gift.
We ask you to guide us in our time of transition.
We need your wisdom,
that we might be receptive
to change, conversion and growth.
We need your grace to redirect our hearts
that we may be willing to offer ourselves
in joyful service.
Do not allow fear, ignorance or pride
to limit the work of your Spirit,
nor custom to prevent
the creativity within us from bearing fruit.
Open our hearts to the call of the Gospel.
Give us courage and renewed hope,
that we may meet the challenge of being
the church of our time.
Amen |
