Prayer for the Mission

O Lord, we pray for the strength to carry out these holy missions
That You may look with favor upon our humble petitions
We pray, that Your most holy living word, that proclaims salvation
Can be understood by all of us, in our own personal situation
We pray for more faith, with the most holy symbol of
The crucifix, that is the greatest proof of Your love
We pray, the light of Christ can be seen by all, so that the darkness of sin will cease
That the Easter candle shines, like the light of Christ to create harmony, and peace
Give us this day our daily bread, the bread that is Jesus, we pray
That nourishes our life, and makes us the bread of life, for today
We are called to Your altar, with Jesus our brother
Sent forth on a mission to serve You, and one another
Lord accept our prayer, as a love poem from all of us to You
So that all of these symbols can be understood before we are through 2/13/03
