God of hosts, your heart is hospitality. With joy we pray:

God, our strength, hear our prayer.

Fortify faith formation in parishes and youth groups.

God, our strength, hear our prayer.

Unite efforts to know and care for the needs of our neighbors.

God, our strength, hear our prayer.

Help us to listen compassionately to the hearts and concerns of adolescents and young adults.

God, our strength, hear our prayer.

Our Father . . .

May God bless us with a patient spirit and a loving heart, through Jesus, the Wisdom of God. Amen.
