Welcome to our English Speaking Catholic Community

A Prayer for
Nurturing Our Catholic Community

Loving God,

You speak to us through your living WORD.

Your WORD tells us your story.

Your WORD comforts our lives.

Your WORD challenges the way we live.

Help us to live your WORD each day.

Loving God,

You are present to us whenever we gather

to WORSHIP you.

You remind us that we gather as a community of faith.

You tell us that whenever we gather in your name,

you are with us.

Help us to celebrate your presence in our community

WORSHIP.

Loving God,

We are signs of your presence in our world

whenever we WITNESS

To your love and compassion,

To your kindness and care,

To your justice and peace.

Strengthen us for the work of WITNESSING.

Amen
