Prayer for the Year
of Grace |
|
Loving God, you called
Arnold and Joseph to follow your Son, the Divine Word, in proclaiming
the Gospel to all peoples. Burning with love for him and filled with his
Spirit they dedicated themselves totally to the work of spreading Your
Kingdom of peace and love. Their example has inspired many generations
of missionaries in many parts of the world; may it continue to inspire
us today. Inflame our hearts like theirs with a burning love for Christ
who calls us to the same mission. Guide us to build communities where
dialogue is learned and life-giving relationships are created. Shape our
communities by your Son's self-giving in the Eucharist, so that we may
become signs of your never-ending love for our world. Teach us to
rejoice in the abundant diversity of peoples and give us a loving heart
ready to embrace all peoples of our one world. Transform our one world
into one heart fully alive with Christ's Spirit. Amen. |
