Prayer For The Bishop's Annual Appeal

Dear and benevolent God, you blessed us with your Son, Jesus Christ. He gave Himself fully, not just upon the cross, but throughout all His days. He noticed the hungry and fed them; He encountered the lame and restored them; He met the sick and brought them healing; He saw those who were discouraged and uplifted them; He found the dying and offered them new life. Through His selflessness, He taught us the true meaning of giving. Loving and benevolent God, may our hearts be open to the mission and work of the Bishop's Annual Appeal. Strengthen our determination to be like Your Son, Jesus Christ, giving of ourselves in every moment we live. Our Father...Amen.
