Pastoral Plan Prayer
Diocese of San Angelo
Lord Jesus Christ, in your holy name,
we dedicate ourselves to the preparation of a new pastoral plan
for the Diocese of San Angelo.
As you guided the holy men and women who have gone before us,
help us to build upon this foundation of faith.
We ask you to pour out the gifts of your Holy Spirit upon us,
and so enable us
to listen to each other attentively,
to express ourselves clearly,
to work together joyfully,
and to imagine our future boldly.
Through this prayerful process,
show us the way to live out your mission for us,
and help us to hand on your gifts to future generations.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother,
and under the protection of St. Michael the Archangel, our patron,
help us to discern your holy will
for the Catholic Church in West Texas.
We ask this of you,
who live and reign with the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
