| Prayer for a Church in Transition |
| O faithful God, as your people, we cherish our memories and our history as a sacred gift. We also ask you to guide us in our time of transition. We need your vision that we might be receptive to change, conversion and growth. We need your grace to redirect our hearts that we may be willing to offer ourselves in your joyful service.
|
| Do not allow fear, ignorance or pride to limit the work of your spirit, or custom to prevent the creativity within us from bearing fruit. Open our hearts to the call of the Gospel. Give us courage and renewed hope that we may meet the challenge of being the Church in our time.
|
| Amen. |
