Mission Prayer:

God, our Father, we offer you praise and thanksgiving for all the many gifts you have given us through Jesus, your Son.  We thank you especially for the gift of our parish mission.  

Loving and gracious God, quiet our minds and hearts, that we may be open to the gift of your truth. Grant that our mission may be:

      A time of grace for all,
      A time of growth for the young,
      A time of refreshment for the old,
      A time of renewal for families,
      A time of healing for the broken,
      A time of joy for the sorrowing,
      A time of challenge for the complacent,
      A time of forgiveness for the sinner,
      A time of strength for the holy,
      A time of homecoming for those who have been away.

Grant, most loving God, that our mission may bring down your richest blessings on each and every member of our pairsh community.

We pray through the intercession of Mary, our mother, in the name of Jesus Christ who lives with you and the Holy Spirit forever.  Amen!
