Prayer
Prayer from Vatican II
We stand before you, Holy Spirit, conscious of
our limitations, but aware that we gather in your name.
Come to us, remain with us, and enlighten our hearts.
Give us light and strength to know your will,
To make it our own and to live it in our lives
Guide us by your wisdom, support us by your power,
For you are God, sharing the glory of our Creator and Savior.
You desire justice for all, enable us to uphold the rights of others;
Do not allow us to be misled by ignorance
Or corrupted by fear or favor.
Unite us to yourself in the bond of love and keep us
faithful to all that is true as we gather in your name.
May we temper justice with love,
So that all our decisions may be pleasing to you and
earn the reward you promised to good and faithful servants.
You live and reign with our Creator and our Savior,
One God, forever and ever, Amen
