Catholic Charismatic Renewal

    of the Diocese of Albany 

Lord God, Creator of all that is,
all times and seasons belong to You
and we do well to sing Your praise forever
and to give You thanks in all we do
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

 As we begin the journey of a New Year,
we thank you, Father, for Your blessings
of the past and for all that, by Your help,
we must yet achieve.

We offer You our past year of joys
and of our struggles and anxieties
and we commend to You all those who
have gone before us during the year.

Now, we ask Your blessing upon our families,
our Diocese, our communinity and our Nation.
We pray that in the year ahead,
all might live as one,
in truth, freedom and peace.

We make this prayer through
Christ, Our Lord.

Amen

But those who help in the Lord will renew their Strength.
They will take Wings like Eagles.
They will Run and Not Struggle.
They will Walk and Not Tire.

Heavenly Father,

We your people of the Charismatic Renewal need your help.  You call us to a deeper, personal relationship with you and your Son, Jesus Christ.  We desire to do your will, yet we know that we cannot do it ourselves.  We ask you to send the Holy Spirit to refresh and renew us.  Grant us the grace to be the people that you created us to be.  Bless us with the gifts we need to go forth and touch the hearts of those you have brought into our lives.  Amen  (©RCDA-DSC-2014)
