Do you pray for your parish, the wider Church and yourself with the intention that there will be healing in the Body of Christ, and a renewed zeal to work together to help unfold God’s plan for our world? Here is a prayer from Matthew Kelly that you can use or you can make one of your own.

The Dynamic Catholic Prayer

Loving Father, I invite You into my life today and make myself available to you.

Help me to become the best-version-of-myself by seeking Your will and becoming a living example of Your love in the world.

Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change in order for me to carry out the mission and experience the joy You have imagined for my life.

Inspire me to live my Catholic Faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging.

Show me how to best get involved in the life of my parish. Make our community hungry for best practices and continuous learning.

Give me the courage when I am afraid, hope when I am discouraged and clarity in times of decision.

Teach me to enjoy uncertainty and to do my part to enable Your Church to become all that You Imagined it would be for the people of our times.

Amen.
