Prayer For Our New Church
Gracious Father,
your son Jesus, took flesh and was born of Mary in Bethlehem.
Guided by St. Joseph, they grew together as a holy family through joys and sorrows.
Our parish finds itself in a time of transition marked by the promise of a new church and the grief of letting go of our familiar spaces.
Unite us as a holy family.
Inspire our creativity.
Strengthen our courage.
May our decisions be marked by wisdom, love, and peace.
Thank you for the ways in which you bless us. May we joyfully share our gifts for your honor and glory, and the good of our brothers and sisters.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph – Pray for us!
