MISSION SENDING
This evening our community offered a simple mission sending prayer for our juniors who are leaving for their pastoral year in Vietnam and East Timor. Astuti is going to East Timor. Hoan & Liem are going to Vietnam
Lord, look favorably on our Sisters
as we send them forth
to participate in your Mission.
As bearers of your light,
truth, beauty and goodness in the world,
may they embrace all the blessings
and sufferings of life
as they walk with our brothers and sisters
from various cultures and nationalities.
May their readiness
and availability for service
express their gift of “self”
knowing that its value
is not so much in how much they do,
but in how deeply they love.
May their presence to people
be life-giving
and marked with reverence and gratitude.
And as you promised, Lord,
may you be with them always,
until the end of the age.
