FROM FR. JOHN: June 25, 2023

June 23, 2023As we continue in this year of Eucharistic Revival I wanted to share with you a prayer that was composed in & for our Diocese this year. I would invite you to cut this out of the bulletin & keep it on your refrigerator, in a prayer book that you might have, or anywhere where you will be able to find it & pray this prayer throughout the year. I have committed myself to praying this prayer daily throughout the year, I’d invite you to join me in praying it on a regular basis as well.
Diocesan Eucharistic Revival Prayer
Lord Jesus, as we gather at your altar, you give yourself to us in the Most Holy Eucharist, so that we might become what we receive. By your holy presence we are blessed. May we be transformed forever by your love that stretches forth to us from this altar. May your sharing in our humanity humble us to share in your divinity. Heal our brokenness with your real presence and help us to draw strength from you in the Eucharist. Unite us to you in this Sacrament that brings healing and redemption. As we glorify you by our lives, give us grace and courage to share your love with a world sorely in need of your mercy. May your true presence bring hope to those on the peripheries, dry the tears of the poor and the wounded, and end our divisions. May your Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity be a constant source of revival for us. Let us become one with you as we seek the peace of your kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
