PRAYER FOR WORLD MISSION SUNDAY 2013

HOLY TRINITY,

by the Word made flesh

in the womb of Mary,

enliven our heart.

Help us

to discern the signs of

your story with us.

Jesus, Son of God,

You are the WAY,

and we did not follow you;

show us the way of your will.

You are the TRUTH,

and we did not believe in you;

teach us how to love your truth.

You are the WORD,

and we did not listen to you;

Give us the courage to proclaim your word.

You are the LIFE,

and we did not experience you;

send us to testify about your Life.

Jesus,

By the HOLY SPIRIT,

strengthen our missionary commitment

in order to become the servants of

God's gifts.

Open our heart to hope,

inspire us with words of consolation

and with lifesaving gestures.

Then, we will become

your WITNESSES

and your MISSIONARIES

to the

ENDS OF THE EARTH.
