Heroes of Hope - Monthly Prayers
Lord God, by the grace of our baptism,
you have given us new life in Christ
and called us to serve as pilgrims of hope.
We pray in thanksgiving for those who have responded to your call
to be leaders in our parish community
and for the volunteers who dedicate their gifts
for the building up of your Church
and the service of their sisters and brothers.
Through their varied ministries,
may they touch the hearts of all in our community
who long for the hope, born of our Christian faith,
that never disappoints.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
