Prayer for the Closing of the
Year of the Clergy and Consecrated Persons
O God Most Loving Father,
You called us to be fully and ever united to
You and with one another as members of the One Body of Christ. In
Jesus, your Son, we confidently move forward in the spirit of
collaboration and co-responsibility journeying as one family in faith,
hope and love.
As we close this Year of the Clergy and Consecrated Persons, we
thank You for the gift of their vocation from and for Your People.
Pardon them in their weaknesses. Guide, strengthen, protect and
embrace them to persevere in their continuous personal conversion.
May they always become humble bearers of the Gospel of Your love
through their joyful service, suffering and sacrifice.
As we welcome the Year of the Youth, May all of us be renewed
Servant-Leaders of communion for the New Evangelization.
Make us gracious in affirming the beauty and giftedness of the Filipino youth.
Encourage us to accompany the young to fulfill their mission in loving service.
With Mary, Star of the New Evangelization, may we continue to be agents of transformation in our country and in the world.
Amen.
