Prayer for the Diocese

Prayer for the Diocese

Lord, in your thirst for relationship with us you reveal a love and longing greater than anything we can ask for or imagine. Teach us to thirst in the depths of our souls for you, O Lord, and through you, to thirst for more loving and just relationships with others throughout our diocese and beyond.  Above all, help us to be advocates for justice and peace in our workplaces and in the families and communities in which you have planted us.  In your blessed name we pray.  AMEN.
