Let us pray.

Lord God,
who is my true and loving Father,
grant me an open heart like your Son’s Heart
to accept and to receive your fatherly Love, and
empowered by this Love,
let me go forth and spread the Gospel wherever I go.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
