All:
Eternal Priest, anointed in the Spirit at your baptism,
your life was for the Father and for the people;
sanctify our bishop Patrick, our priests and deacons,
the women and men
who have consecrated their lives to God,
and all Christ’s faithful, that together we will make
this journey of faith.
As the Church,
in this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit,
prepares for a national Plenary Council,
be with us, Jesus;
help us to be attentive to what the Spirit is saying to
us, help us to listen to each other with respect, and
may Mary, Mother of the Church and St Joseph,
patron of the Universal Church intercede for us.
The journey of life is never easy, and we so often
stumble in the weakness of faith, in the fear of
sustaining hope, and in the lack of true charity;
enfold in your merciful arms all who have longed for
your mercy and take them to that place where they
can see the reality of God, face to face.
Leader:
Gathering up all the longings of our hearts, and the
needs of those who have sought our prayers, we pray
together:
All: Our Father…
