Campaign Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, through your Paschal Mystery, you draw us into friendship with God and send us forth, filled with the Holy Spirit, to live as missionary disciples in the world.
As stewards of your Church, we embrace the Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future campaign as a sacred opportunity for renewal, deeper communion, and shared mission.
Strengthen us through the sacramental life of the Church. Make us bold in spirit, generous in love, and united in purpose, that our Christian witness may invite others to deeper faith, hope, and love.
Give success to all we do as laborers in your vineyard. May we seek the salvation of souls and come at last to our own Heavenly reward.
We ask this in your Holy Name, for you live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
