Almighty God, our heavenly Father, 

    the privilege is ours to be called to share 

    in the loving, healing and reconciling mission

    of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord 

    in this age and wherever we are.

Since without you we can do no good thing,

    may your Spirit make us wise;

    may your Spirit guide us;

    may your Spirit renew us;

    may your Spirit strengthen us

    so that we will be

        strong in faith;

        discerning in proclamation;

        courageous in witness;

        persistent in good deeds.

This we ask through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
