Prayer For The Bishop's Annual Appeal
Loving and gracious God
You gave us your Son, Jesus Christ.
He gave of Himself,
not only on the cross,
but in every moment of His life.
He saw the hungry; He fed them.
He saw the lame; He cured them.
He saw the sick; He healed them.
He saw the discouraged; He encouraged them.
He saw the dying; He gave them new life.
He gave. In this way, He taught us to give.
Loving and gracious God
Open our hearts to the mission
and ministry of the Bishop's Annual Appeal.
Strengthen our resolve to be
like Your Son, Jesus Christ,
To give of ourselves
in every moment of our lives.
Our Father...
Amen.
