We invite the Sisters, Associates, lay co-workers, members of other Religious Communities, friends, and sympathizers to support us with prayers in the preparation phase and during and after the General Chapter, so we would be able to implement its decisions.
Prayer for the General Chapter 2023
Almighty and benevolent God,
The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
We come to You with complete trust.
Open to us Your Spirit
During the preparation of the General Chapter,
During the Chapter and its implementation.
Rooted in Jesus Christ and united with Him,
We want to live in His power,
So we can see the needs of our time
and make visible His merciful and redemptive love.
Help us
To know Your will,
And fulfill what You expect from us.
Strengthen in us the willingness
To be open for changes,
Which help our Community to grow.
Encourage us to proclaim the Gospel
Joyfully in word and deed
And to live as redeemed Sisters.
We ask this
Through the intercession of our Foundress,
Blessed Alphonse Marie.
Amen.
