Humility

God of compassion, thank you for the gift of our shared ministry. Fill our hearts and minds with your Holy Spirit. Inspire us through the example of humble and dedicated women and men throughout the ages. Open our eyes that we might see in others your presence. Open our hearts that we might reach out in love to all people, especially people who are poor and marginalized. We pray as we live, in your name. Amen.

Prayer

Gracious God, each day the news confronts us with the challenges we face as individuals and as communities. Each day, we face the temptation to give in to our fears, anxieties, and mistrust. Each day, we come to you that you might support us in the face of such temptations. Encourage us to be people of hope and increase our trust in the goodness of our shared future. We pray in your name. Amen.
