  Parish Prayer
  
  Most gracious and loving God:
  Strengthen the hearts of your people.
  By loving you with our whole heart,
  And loving our neighbors as you have loved us,
  We will, in the power of the Holy Spirit,
  Obey the call of Jesus to go into our world as disciples,
  Making disciples, and making a difference
  Through your saving love.
  We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Joy,
  Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
