“For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst of them."… Matthew 18:20
Lord,
grant that we may understand the necessity for depth in our
movement, rather than surface glory. Convince us of the truth
that colorful programs do not constitute success.
My
God, give us a spirit of self sacrifice so that we may offer
everything for Your cause: our time, our abilities, our health
and even our lives, if necessary. Instill in us courage in our
initiatives, good judgment in our choice of the right means,
and that determination which in spite of failures assures victory.
Move
away from us the tiny rivalries, sensitivities, discourtesies,
pride, everything which distracts from You, everything which
divides or discourages.
Help
us maintain at a high level a meaningful supernatural and mutual
charity among ourselves, so that each one will seek by preference
the most humble tasks and will rejoice at the good performed
by others, so that all our spirits united in a common purpose
will have one single spirit, Yours Jesus, and that this spirit
will let us see Your attractive goodness, marked in all our
faces, Your warm accents in all our words, and in our lives
something superior to the world, something that proclaims Your
Living Presence among us, Amen.
Our
Lady of Guadalupe, Patron of the Americas, Pray for us.
St.
Paul, Patron of Cursillo, Pray for us.
