A DISCIPLE'S PRAYER
Loving God and Father,
help us to be people of
prayer,
committed to the person
and message of
Jesus your Son.
Help us to grasp the
integrity and beauty of the truths of our faith and
the transforming power of
your grace.
Nourish and strengthen us
as people of faith,
disciples of Jesus
committed to the mission
of the Church
and eager to share the
gospel without restraint.
Let our Hearts burn
within us
as we catch glimpses of
your heart in Jesus,
for through him,
we know your loving plan
for us.
We ask this through Jesus
the Christ
who lives with you and
the Holy Spirit
in one loving Trinity.
Amen
