Loving God, You call me to be a person of
faith, who desires to grow in wisdom as well
as age.
Teach me to be open to You in responding to
Your love in my life.
As I grow older, enable me to offer the
wisdom of my years to those who are in need
of guidance.
I desire to offer the difficulties of my life for
those who also struggle to be the people You
desire them to be.
I offer my prayer especially for those who are
seeking to answer Your call as priests,
deacons, sisters and brothers.
I ask that You bless them and our parish
community with generous and enthusiastic
ministers who desire to work among us,s who
can bring Your Good News to our world.
