Messengers of Love and Mercy

Jesus, you want us to tell people about your love for us and to reach out and help others in Your name. You send us to share your message of love and mercy with others. You do not expect us to so alone but always in union with others. Jesus, You gave us the Church as our community of support and encouragement. Bless the Church’s efforts to fulfill Your mission and to support all of us as we seek to live out our Baptismal consecration in Christian discipleship. May all that we say and do be said and done in your name, Lord Jesus.

Amen.
