MISSION PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we thank you for sending your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to reveal
your unconditional love for us, and for pouring out your Holy Spirit upon the Church.
May that gift of the Spirit that dwells within each one of us be fanned into a flame so
that we may have a burning love for you and for our neighbour. Help each of us to play
our part in making our parish a place of welcome, where people may experience your
healing grace and be empowered to bear witness to your love for all. We ask this
through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Our Lady of Peace, Pray for us! St Andrew, Pray for us! St Gilbert, Pray for us!
