HEAVENLY FATHER,
Thank you for the abundant graces of Synod 16:
for awakening in us the vision and resolve to become
again your Church on mission, eagerly working together
to “make disciples of all nations,” according to our
commission from the Lord Jesus.
 
Pour out upon us your Holy Spirit, as a new Pentecost,
to guide us in our next phase in our movement to Unleash
the Gospel.  By his power at work in us, transform our
parishes into bands of joyful missionary disciples.
 
COME HOLY SPIRIT:
Set our hearts on fire to share the Good News of Jesus
with all those who stumble in darkness, who hunger for
hope, who thirst for eternal life.  Above all, grant us the
boldness and courage of the apostles to put the mission
above all else, so that our community becomes the spark
to ignite the fire of divine love that transforms this time
and this place into the Kingdom of Heaven.
 
We pray through the Intercession of Our Lady, Star of the
New Evangelization, and her mother, our Patron, St. Anne;
and in the spirit of Blessed Solanus we thank you ahead
of time for “accomplishing in us far more
than all we ask or imagine.”
 
We ask all of this in the all-powerful name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns forever.
 
AMEN
