Arise Prayer

Gracious God and Father,
we enter into your presence
realizing you know us better than we know ourselves.
You know the cares and sufferings we carry in our hearts.

You call us to holiness
and we trust you to lead us together on our journey
to be a renewed Church,
for with you all things are possible.

Create us anew in Jesus Christ your Son.
Liberate us from all that keeps us from you.
Heal us from every form of sin and violence.

Transform us to live your Word more profoundly.
Awaken us to the sacred; rebuild trust among us.
Enliven our parishes; reunite our families.

May your Holy Spirit empower us
to live as a community of love,
freed to share in your work
of recreating our world
and restoring justice.

We believe you are doing something new,
calling us to arise together in Christ
to celebrate the fullness of life. Amen.

「起來! 在基督內共融」 禱詞

慈愛的天主父，
在祢面前，我們知道
祢比我們自己更認識我們，
祢知道我們內心的掛慮和憂苦。

祢召叫我們努力成聖，
我們相信祢會帶領我們
一起成為一個新生的教會，
因為在祢內一切都是可能的。

在祢的聖子耶穌基督之內，
請祢重新塑造我們，
把我們從一切使我們遠離祢的事物中拯救出來，
從各種罪惡與暴力中治愈我們。

改變我們，使我們更深刻地活出祢的聖言，
喚醒我們內的聖善，在我們當中重建信任，
使我們的堂區充滿活力，我們的家庭重歸一心。

願祢的聖神賜予我們能力，
活出一個充滿愛的團體，
自由地參與祢再造世界與重建正義的工作。

我們相信祢在做新的事工，
召叫我們在基督內起來，
慶祝生命的圓滿。阿們。
