Yet, we are never far from the evil one. We fail to watch what we say. We say things we wish we could take back. We use words that destroy and hurt others. Our anger, frustration or hate is expressed in inappropriate ways.
It is that our labor should bring God’s Kingdom to earth. That the prophesies might be realized sooner rather than later.
In our relationships within the community in which we live, help us to be able to act out the ways you have set out in example. Help us to love our neighbors with no regard for favoritism.
People: Some of us have more influence in this world than others.
O Lord, bring us to terms with your law. Help us to understand the purpose of it. As we search the universe for understanding of your creation, we find a depth of purpose and meaning.
People, who live in communities, where they share their lives with one another, tend to have common experiences. They tell each other about these experiences all the time.
Renew our vision of a world of accomplishment by guiding us to more valiant endeavors.
To see a community change into an extension of God’s Kingdom as a result of your work is forever rewarding.
As we partake of the wine placed here, fill us with a renewed life dedicated to the lifestyle Jesus taught us.
We want to be satisfied with our lives. We come to be fed with food from God.
