Heavenly Father, when your only begotten Son
Jesus Christ rose from the dead,
he commissioned his followers to “go and make disciples
of all nations” and you remind us that through our Baptism
we are made sharers in the mission of the Church.
Empower us by the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be
courageous and zealous in bearing witness to the Gospel,
so that the mission entrusted to the Church,
which is still very far from completion,
may find new and efficacious expressions
that bring life and light to the world.
Help us make it possible for all peoples to experience
the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever. Amen.
