PRAYER
Our Father in Heaven,
you have called us to be hearers
and bearers of your Word;
to embody your love, your passion
and your dream for the world.
Recreate in us
the Word made flesh.
Fill us with the Spirit of Jesus
so that his saving work
may be manifest in us today.
Through your Word
open our eyes, ears,
hearts and minds,
so that we might become
your living and life-giving presence
for our brothers and sisters.
May we proclaim your Word
not only with our lips,
but by the beauty of our lives
fashioned in your image,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
