ADULT FAITH FORMATION
O Lord,
We thank you for this day and the opportunity to gather as a new family to learn more about you and your Church. We ask that you send the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with Your holy gifts. Let our weaknesses be penetrated with Your strength that we may always act consistent with your holy will. May our words and actions offend no one and hurt no one’s feelings.
Assist us, O Holy Spirit, in all trials that may come our way, enlighten us in our ignorance, advise us in our doubts, strengthen us in our weakness, help us in all our needs, protect us in temptations and console each of us in our afflictions. Pour Your light into our hearts, souls, and minds. Help us to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. We ask this in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen
