God, in Baptism you called me by name and made me a member of your people, the Church. I praise you for your goodness, I thank you for your gifts!

God, bless your Church with love. Raise up dedicated and generous leaders from our families and from our friends who will serve as sisters, priests, brother and deacons.

Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen me that I may serve your people following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name I offer this prayer.

Amen
