25 December 1990 - 25 December 2000

Loving God,
you called us each by name
and gave your only Son to redeem us.
In your faithfulness, you sent the Holy Spirit
to complete the mission of Jesus among us.

Open our hearts to Jesus.
Give us the courage to speak his name
to those who are close to us
and the generosity to share his love
with those who are far away.

We pray that every person
throughout the world
be invited to know and love Jesus
as Savior and Redeemer.
May they come to know his all-surpassing love.
May that love transform every element
of our society.

We make this prayer
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
