Our Call as Christians

As we enter in the final weeks of our Lenten journey, are you thirsting for God in a different way? Are you more aware of the hungers that are driving the actions of your life? We were created for praise and worship of God. Lets aspire to living the life of holiness that God thirsts for us to live. Lets pray for this grace.

Prayer for the Universal Call to Holiness

Lord Jesus Christ, you desire that all people be holy, as you are holy with the Father and the Spirit, and have given us your Church so that all might participate in the fullness of the Christian life and be sustained by faith, enlivened by hope, and perfected in charity.

Conform us to your image so that the world may, in meeting us, experience an encounter with you.

Help us to seek, as you did, the will of the Father.

Grant us lives worthy of our relationship with you.

Inspire us to take heroic risks and make courageous sacrifices so that your Kingdom may come and your will be accomplished.

May the promises of our Baptism be fulfilled and may we, having received your saving grace, share this gift with others.

May we devote ourselves to the glory of God in worship, reverence you in your Sacraments, attend to your teaching in your Word, seek communion with you in prayer, be inspired through the study of your sacred truths, imitate the saints, and honor your commandments in our loving service to God and to neighbor.

May the evangelization and sanctification of all people be accomplished through our bold and creative witness to the Gospel and through our lively works of mercy.

Permit us to be worthy of the name Christian and to truly be your disciples in Spirit and in truth.

And help us to appreciate and understand that holiness is a mission, a unique way of life, through which we are conformed to you, so that we may share your life and presence with the world and become the saints that you have created us to be.

We ask this in your name, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen

From Word on Fire 🔥
