let us pray
Heavenly Father,
You call us together as one Body in Christ, united through Your love and strengthened by Your grace.
As we journey forward in faith, open our hearts to serve one another with compassion, generosity, and hope.
Bless our parishes, families, priests, deacons, religious, and all who answer Your call to build up Your Church.
May the Catholic Services Appeal be a living witness of our shared mission — caring for those in need, supporting ministries that bring healing and hope, and proclaiming the Gospel to all.
Help us to recognize that every gift we offer becomes part of something greater than ourselves, joining us together in Your work of mercy and love.
Guide us to move forward with courage, trusting in Your providence and walking always in the footsteps of Christ.
May we, as one Body in Christ, continue to grow in faith, serve with joy, and bring Your light to the world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
