God our Liberator,
We thank you and praise you
For you are a God who walks with us,
Who knows our struggles,
And who gives us strength to answer your call.
You have created us in your likeness
…I hear you calling us to keep on keeping on.
You have anointed us to bring glad tidings to the
poor
and to set captives free
…I hear you calling us to go and tell the Good News about Jesus Christ.
You have blessed us with family and faith, spirit
and soul
…I hear you calling us to live and leave a legacy
of your love.
“O my Lord, what shall I do?”
Free us, Faithful God, to hear your voice.
Help us, Loving God, to answer your call.
Empower us, Lord Jesus, to be your witness.
Place our lives at your service as holy men and holy
women,
wives and husbands, mothers and fathers, priests
and religious,
generously and compassionately serving our sisters
and brothers.
With faith and unfailing confidence,
We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, Your
Son. Amen
