Building bridges : A word of prayer

Dear Lord, 
we want to thank you for this opportunity, 
to go the distance of gathering us together to talk about building bridges, 

and mendingbroken ones,
because you are the arch-builder of bridges,
bridges of love, 
bridges of hope, 
bridges of compassion, 
bridges of justice, 

may you lead us as we continue our journey together, 
of building a common voice, 
an interfaith voice, 
an ecumenical voice, 
an interdenominational voice, 

to empower especially young people, 
and those who are living with or personally affected, or vulnerable to HIV, 
to empower them to see a world without AIDS, 

that together we can live to see what you have promised us, 
a world that is abundant in life, and in health , and in peace, 

in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

AMEN .

Prayer: For a better world

For the people whose lives have touched ours,
for the love they show,
the burdens they lift,
the hopes we share.

Compassionate God, we ask you:
to fill us with your love,
to place in our hearts a spirit of courage,
to move us to reach out to others in need.

And lead us to play our part,
so that now and in generations to come
all your children may share
in our hope for a better world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

Amen

Suscipe Prayer - St Ignatius of Loyola

Suscipe Prayer

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
My memory, my understanding
And my entire will,
All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours;
do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
That is enough for me.

- St. Ignatius of Loyola
