Prayer for Mission in the Diocese of Down and Connor
Heavenly Father,
send your Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds and open us to new ways of sharing the Gospel. Give each one of us a heart like the Heart of Jesus, with compassion, generosity and courage for all that is ahead. At this time of hope and renewal, guide conversations, inspire ideas, and let us all be attentive to your call to evangelise and to the new pathways that emerge.
Make us bold witnesses to your love who walk faithfully with Jesus as his intentional disciples. Unite us in mission, so that our parishes become places of welcome, encounter and renewal.
May this time of listening, learning and reflection bear lasting fruits within our Families of Parishes, our Diocese and beyond. Set within us a flame of faith, hope and love so that we can share in the work of the Holy Spirit, setting hearts on fire as we go forward with the joy of the Gospel to proclaim Christ to all we meet.
We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord .
