Prayer for Evangelization
Loving God, you called us eachby name and gave your only Son
to redeem us.
In your faithfulness, you sent
the Holy Spirit to complete
the mission of Jesus among us.
Open our hearts to Jesus.
Give us the courage to speak his name
to those who are close to us
and the generosity to share his love
with those who are far away.
We pray that every person
throughout the world be invited
to know and love Jesus
as savior and Redeemer.
May that love transform
every element of our society.
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.

you created us in your image
and sent you Son to bring us life.
Instill in us a respect for all life,
from conception to natural death.
Empower us to work for
justice for the poor.
Nourish us that we may
bring food to the hungry.
Inspire us to cherish
the fragile life of the unborn.
Strengthen us to bring comfort
to the chronically ill.
Teach us to treat the aging
with dignity and respect.
Bring us one day into
the glory of everlasting life
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
