Merciful God,

Through the Sacrament of Baptism, you have empowered us to walk in you, rooted in you, build upon you and be established in the faith. With the help of your Holy Spirit, may we stay true to this calling to make your peace and love be felt by all those we encounter in our lives. And may through our words and actions, you will bring others to the Church, to experience your peace and love in their lives. May your name be praised, Lord, now and forever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
