Our Current Prayer
As Catholics, we recognize that prayer is of the utmost importance. In our mission to act with the Church to help the poor overseas, we begin with prayer. As we reach out to our sisters and brothers, we first seek God's grace and guidance, and then we work, animated by the Spirit that connects us.
Each month, we publish a new prayer that we ask the Church to join us in praying. Seeking God's guidance together, we are drawn closer together, and perhaps get a peek beyond the veil at the Kingdom he has promised, as together we work to make that Kingdom a reality for all.
We invite you to join us in praying this prayer with us each month, sharing it with families, parishes, and networks, so our hearts may be one and steadfast as we turn again to the work of the Lord: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick and the captive.
And so we pray ...
A Pentecost Prayer
Welcome Holy Spirit.
In the silence of a dark night’s fearful thought you come.
You are comfort in the sleepless worries,
Gentle in the rising doubts,
Forgiving all our handmade hurts,
Patient in our pointless hurry,
Counseling as the waves come crashing,
“Be still and know that I am God.”
Wonderful counselor, comforter, God with us,
You will never abandon us.
You will always be with us.
Your promises are sure.
Help us to give like you, forgive like you, live for you.
Amen
