Life is Your Gift
Creator God, Life is your gift to me.
Through Baptism, you invite me to share the gift of my life in service to others. Be with me as I choose each day to show Your Presence in our world. Give me the courage and generosity to respond to Your love, to Your call.
I pray especially for those who serve you in ministry throughout our Parish. May we bear the Good News to those in need. Keep us close to you.
Open the minds and hearts of many others that they may accept Your challenge to build the Kingdom in our parish, our community and our world.
For if not us, who?
If not here, where?
If not now, when?
If not for Your Kingdom, why?
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

On behalf of everyone at St. Bernadette Parish,
for the many ways you help make our ministries possible...
Lord, Source of All Gifts
Lord and Source of All Gifts, we, your people, rejoice in the fullness of Your generosity.
We thank You for those whose lives are visible signs of Your love and blessing to others.
Give us the courage to do the same.
Make us good stewards of all we have received, generously sharing our time, talents, and
treasure to build Your kingdom of love and justice.
We ask this through Jesus Christ in whom we begin and end all things.
Amen.
