Inspire us to discover new ways and structures to spread your Gospel. Open our eyes to see Christ in one others, especially the poor, the sick and the marginalized. Empower us to be the hands and feet of Christ in our parishes and our communities. Help us to welcome all into God’s embrace.

Guide us in our discernment, as we pray with Pope Francis for the vision to see new paths of possibility; for a spirit of mission that invigorates our every effort; and for the strength to be unafraid of what is new. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen

Pope Frances“We ask this question: Am I stuck on a playground or do I wish to fly high? Am I tied to a herd, blindly doing what everyone else does, seeking only self satisfaction, focused on myself, or do I look above to fly high? Don’t be scared, dare to have fabulous plans. I encourage you to not be afraid to dream, to have great ideals, Homily 6/21/13to be builders of hope.”
