We come to
you as your sons and daughters with hearts full of gratitude for
the gift of life You have given us in order that we come to know
You, love You and serve You. Recognizing that all that we have
belongs to You O God, help us to willingly serve our brothers
and sisters in the body of Christ who are most in need. Help us
to use our gifts and talents for the building up of our family
of faith. Give us the willingness to share our possessions with
the poor among us. Prompt us to recognize and answer the call to
work and serve your kingdom on earth with unselfish hearts and
full abandonment to Your will. Create in us lives made in
service and compassion for Christ among us, that we may always
be United in Faith and Sharing in Love. We ask that you continue
to bless our families, our parishes and the Diocese of Palm
Beach through the intercession of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ and our patron, Our Lady Queen of Apostles.
