INVITING

INACTIVE CATHOLICS HOME

PRAYER

 

O Holy Spirit

We believe that you are actively present

In St. Romuald’s Parish.

You inspire us with a deep commitment

To our Catholic Faith.

Fill us with your grace, guide our desires

And direct our efforts.

Most Holy Spirit open the hearts of those

Who are not active in our church.

Grant them the grace to respond

To our invitation to come closer to you

In faith, hope and love.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

 

St. Monica, pray for us.

St. Romuald, pray for us
