BELLS OF HOPE PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we come before You in gratitude for the blessings You bestow upon us. May we, as a parish community of faith, never lose sight of the love You have given us through Your Son. Unite us with a single vision and purpose to preserve and beautify our church during this “Bells of Hope” initiative. May every endeavor of ours magnify Your glory, for we understand that without the Lord’s hand in the building, our labor is in vain.
Holy Spirit, may charity govern our partnership as the body of Christ, and may Your wisdom guide our labor to make us good stewards of the many gifts You share with us. Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us. St. Margaret Mary, pray for us.
Amen.
