Office of Worship 2011
Lord Jesus Christ,
you call us to worship the Father
in Spirit and in truth.
Send your Spirit upon us
as we reflect upon the Eucharistic Liturgy
the celebration of your Paschal Mystery.
May the liturgy make us one Body in you
and lead us to your table in heaven. Amen.

Eternal Father,
turn our hearts to you.
By seeking your kingdom
and loving one another,
may we become a people
who worship you in spirit and truth.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Turn our hearts to you, eternal Father, and grant that, seeking always the one thing necessary and carrying out works of charity, we may be dedicated to your worship.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
