Parish Mission Prayer

Almighty and ever living God, as we seek to serve you in this parish, stir up within us your Holy Spirit that we may discern your will. Give us courage to respond trustfully to your guiding and so shine as a light in the world and be salt in our community. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
