Diaconate Prayer
 
Lord Jesus, you came to serve,
not to be served,
form within us your generous
spirit;
 
Fill us with your love,
that we may love the Father as
you loved Him.
 
Fill us with your compassion,
that we may see our brothers and
sisters
as you see them.
 
Fill us with your courage,
that we may give our lives in
service to the Church
as you gave your life for her.

 
Fill us with the Spirit which will
make us
preachers of your Word,
ministers of your Sacrifice,
servants of your Bride,
friends of the poor,
and the voice of the forgotten.
 
Transform us through your Holy
Spirit
so that we may transform the
worlkd into
your Kingdom of justice and faith.
 
Amen
