Prayer and Reflection
Let us be still and ask the Holy Spirit to be with us.

Dear Father,
Be with us as we pray.
Open our ears to hear your Word in the Gospel.
Unite us in faith, hope and love as we pray together.
Send your Holy Spirit to inspire and sustain us in our mission.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I invite you to participate in a 3 minute prayer reflecting on a Scripture passage.
