Gracious God, you have taught us to experience, teach,
preach and practice love. Be with us as we read the gospel and practice it in
our lives. There are many who having read have not understood, who could not
read because of varying circumstances and who will readily read the gospel if
given a chance. Even as the world is facing an erosion of good values, justice
and peace, we pray for the gospel to reach places it has thus far never been
heard or understood. Help us to start and be part of church initiatives of
evangelization which seek to convert hearts hardened by hatred, revenge and
violence to hearts which seek reconciliation and love.
May the church and we who serve the church preach and teach
the gospel in places misunderstood and in contexts misinterpreted. God is love
and how can this love be limited to few places in the world. May our thoughts,
actions and deeds reflect the conversion experience we have had in Christ and
lead us to work for the church, which is the body of Christ. Help us and lead
us Holy Spirit we pray in one accord. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. Amen.
