Lord Jesus,
We consecrate ourselves to your Sacred Heart.
Rule over us as individuals,
and as members of St. Mary parish family.
Make our parish an evangelizing community.
Empower us by your Holy Spirit
to bring you as Lord and Savior
to the hearts of others.
Establish the Kingdom
of your Father among us.
May the peace and joy
we experience in our lives
proclaim to all others
how wonderful it is
to belong to you.
Your unselfishness and love
have touched our hearts.
Through us, may they also touch others,
and give them the desire
to belong to your Church.
Show us
that where you are King and Lord,
|
your Spirit enters
with His many gifts
to help solve our problems
and give us your peace.
End division and disharmony among us.
Heal our wounds.
Take away any hardness of heart
that might be in us.
Gift us
with your Spirit of forgiveness.
Help us discover the talents.
You have placed in us.
Awaken in us a desire
to minister to one another.
Enlighten us
so that we grow in patience and wisdom.
Bless us for our devotion to you.
Fill our Church, our parish,
and our homes with your divine presence.
Dwell in us,
so that all who visit us
may have the thrill of meeting you. Amen.
