  Lord of the church,

  In Your mercy, hear our prayer.

  May Christ be seen in the life of the church,

  Lord………

  May we be seen as members of one family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

  Lord………

  May the Holy Spirit dwell within us, purifying, teaching, strengthening and changing us

   into the likeness of Christ,

  Lord………

  May we recognize each other’s gifts and share them in the building up of one another and

  the mission of the church,

  Lord………

  May we bear witness to the faith whoever we are and wherever we are,

  Lord……….

  When we need to speak out for the faith, may the Holy Spirit take away our fear and

  speak through us,

  Lord……….

  As we share in each other’s troubles and suffering, may we be willing instruments,

  through which You bring comfort, hope and Your healing love,

  Lord……….

   As we hear of the needs of the less fortunate and victims of manmade and natural

  disasters, show  us how we can help and enable us to freely give,

  Lord………

  When others show interest in the faith, help us to welcome, to encourage, to value, and

   to share and to put their needs before our own without resentment of any kind,

  Father, fill us with Your love until you shine out from everyone of us and the living Christ

  is made visible in and through His family,

  Lord……….
