Prayer asking the intercession of St. Francis Xavier
Lord
Jesus,
You
have sent us to proclaim the Gospel to all nations,
and
have promised to always remain with us.
Look
upon us gathered here at the relic of St. Francis Xavier.
Pour
out the abundance of your Spirit upon each one of our brothers and sisters especially
on those who are called to ponder
upon
the journey made and to plan what has still to be done,
so
that we may offer a more authentic service to mission.
Grant
that we may ever be faithful to the Gospel and to give an answer to the hopes
which the world places before your church today. Stay with us, Lord, when we gather around the
table of your Bread and your Word, and when we walk the paths of the world side
by side with our brothers and sisters.
Grant
that we all find ourselves in heaven, our homeland,
after
having been members of the same family on earth.
Amen.
