Let us pray…
God of the invitation,
you knock upon the door of everyone’s heart.
We seek the courage to open that door, for we know the responsibility of saying yes.
We humbly ask you for your wisdom to serve your church with compassion and acceptance.
We believe that when we say yes, you will provide the grace for the work ahead.
Give grace to those men and women who have dedicated their lives to constant service to your church.
Also give grace to those couples and single men and women who work for the church in their secular lives.
We ask all this through Christ our Lord and brother, who live and reign with you and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
“How long has Jesus been knocking at the door of your heart, waiting to enter?”
-St. John Baptist de la Salle
