May our faith be rooted in the deep love you have for us and that we are meant to extend to others, Loving God. Let us seek to grow in new ways and branch out in our ministries. May we work together to spread the message of your redeeming love. Give us hope when we are struggling and help us to encourage others in challenging times. Give us the wisdom to make just and righteous decisions and the grace to treat those whom we meet as beloved. Grow in us a spirit that fills us to accomplish more than we can ask or imagine. All this we ask in your most Holy Name. Amen
