Generous God, you lavish us with love and call us to follow Christ. In company with St. Patrick we pray: God, teach us your ways.
Let your Word bring forth a harvest of peace and unity in Ireland and all of Europe.
God, teach us your ways.
Lead bishops of the world to take counsel and heed the needs of women, families, youth, and the poor.
God, teach us your ways.
Advance efforts to assist those who hunger or suffer because of famine, drought, or flooding.
God, teach us your ways.
Our Father . . .
May Christ be ever before us, beside us, within us, and around us, by the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
