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 ...
Our Prayer for February
Prayer of the Table
Lord of Life,
As we anticipate the feast before us
Let us first taste the sweetness of your love.
Help those who are here assembled
Remember that this bread and drink for which we thank you
Is only a shadow of your gracious love.
You feed our bodies with the fruits the land
But also you feed our spirits with joy,
Our hearts with goodness and hope,
Our souls with peace and mercy.
Let us partake of these
And all the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
And in so doing, let us always save some to share
With our brothers and sisters who still hunger,
And always make room at our tables
Amen
