Our Renovation Prayer

O God all-powerful Father,

          In Your infinite wisdom you have created a natural world that reflects Your own beauty.  We thank you for your generous love which shared with us Your only Son. Through the power of the Holy Spirit you make us Your sons and daughters and build us into one Church to worship you and sing your praises. We ask you now to send this same Spirit into our hearts and minds. Make us truly grateful for the blessings we have received especially the gift of Faith. With the wisdom and humility of St. Francis may we see clearly Your vision for our parish. With the courage and patience of St. Joseph may we form a plan and see it through to completion. With the eloquence and generosity of St. Anthony may we preach Your Gospel by our deeds and sacrifice what is required for us to become One Body in Christ, a Temple for the Spirit. Through the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, May You bring to successful completion the good work we have begun.   We ask this through Christ Our Lord.        Amen.
