Jesus Lord and Saviour

Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God,
out of love for your Father and for your people
you have called us to a life of service.
You have chosen us
and united us to yourself
like branches on a vine
that our works might bear fruit,
abundant fruit that lasts forever (John 15).
In the spirit of Father Dehon,
we pledge ourselves,
personally and as a community,
to repair a broken world
and restore all things to you.
Make us living witnesses of your love in the Church,
that was born from your pierced side,
opening the way to truth and life,
as you hung upon the cross for us.
We pray in you, our savior and Lord.
Amen.
