Creator God,

Life is your gift to me. Through Baptism you invite me to share the gift of my life in service to others. I praise You for your goodness; I thank You for your gifts.

God, bless your Church with love. Raise up dedicated and generous leaders from our families and from our friends who will serve as sisters, priests, brothers and deacons.

Give me the courage and generosity to ask You what you desire of me and to respond to your love and to your call.

Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen me that I may serve your people in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ and in the love of your Spirit.

Amen.
