Creator God, Life is Your gift to me. Through baptism You invite me to share the gift of my life in service to others. Be with me as I choose each day to show Your presence in our world. Give me the courage and generosity to respond to Your love, to Your call. I pray especially for those who serve You as priests, brothers, sisters, deacons and lay ministers. Keep them close to You. Open the minds and hearts of many other men and women that they may accept Your challenge to build the Kingdom. Amen.
