God our Father, in baptism
you called me by name and made
me a member of your people,
the Church. I praise you for your goodness.
I thank you for your gifts.
Father, bless your Church
with love, develop in the
world good and holy families,
loving husbands and wives,
devoted parents and children.
Raise up from our families
and friends, dedicated and
generous leaders, who will serve
as sisters, priests, brothers,
deacons and lay leaders.
Send your spirit to guide and
strengthen me, that I may
serve your people, following the
example of your son,
Jesus Christ, in whose name
I offer this prayer.
Amen
