Prayer for the Church # 2

Heavenly Father,

look upon our community of faith

which is the Church of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Help us to witness to his love

by loving all our fellow creatures without exception.

Under the leadership

of the Holy Father and the Bishops

keep us faithful to Christ's mission

of calling all men and women

to your service so that there may be

"one fold and one shepherd."

We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
