Saint Charbel's Family  "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"  Acts 2-42

 

 

O God,

to whom all hearts are open,

All hearts known,

And from whom no secrets are hidden,

Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts

By the inpouring of your Holy Spirit,

That every thought and word of ours

May begin from you,

And in you be perfectly completed,

Through Christ our Lord.

 

Holy Spirit come into our lives.

Open our ears:

To hear what you are saying to us

In the things that happen to us

In the people we meet.

 

Open our eyes:

To see the needs of the people round us.

Open our hands:

To do our work well

To help when help is needed.

 

Open our lips:

To tell others the good news of Jesus

And bring comfort,

Happiness and laughter to other people.

 

Open our minds:

To discover new truth

About you and the world.

 

Open our hearts:

To love you and our fellow men

As you have loved us in Jesus.

 

To you, with our Father and the Son, one God;

All honour and praise shall be given

Now and forever.

Amen.
