Let us love one another

 

Prayer after Communion

for Maundy Thursday


Holy God, source of all love,

on the night of his betrayal

Jesus gave his disciples

a new commandment,

to love one another as he loved them.

Write this commandment in our hearts;

give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all,

who gave his life and died for us, yet is alive and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

 

As we commemorate and live our Lord's passion and resurrection, I ask you to find a place for FaithWorks in your Paschal observances and celebrations; in your life and parish. Please support our efforts to meet the needs of the most vulnerable among us.

 

In your parishes, I ask that the FaithWorks posters are visible and the FaithWorks outreach envelopes are available for everyone to take, “open and be inspired.” Even if your parish’s FaithWorks campaign does not take place until later in the year, we never know when the Holy Spirit will move someone into action.

 

As part of your Easter observance, please donate to ease the pain and suffering of another. Helping others is our way of proclaiming "Alleluia! Christ is risen!”

The Lord continues to work through us!

A $100,000 Matching Challenge Grant for 2023

 

A generous donor has offered a $100,000 matching challenge grant for all new and increased donations. That means for every dollar raised over last year’s amount, by an individual or parish, FaithWorks receives an extra dollar. We encourage you to make a special effort this year –

 

doing a little more can make twice the difference.
