Heavenly Father, when your only begotten Son Jesus Christ rose from the dead,
He commisioned 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 courageos 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 Spiri,
One God, forever and ever. AMEN.
