Prayer for the Pastoral Plan

Intermountain Catholic

Good and gracious God, we, the Catholic people of Utah,

come before You in prayer as we chart our course for our future.

We believe in a living faith grounded in ancient Scripture and our sacred Tradition.

Open us to the needs of our people and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

We celebrate through worship and prayer.

Guide our sharing of the Gospel of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,

with our families, our parishes and our communities.

We live in the unity of our rich diversity.

Allow the faith we share to overcome barriers and challenges that separate and isolate us. Trusting in the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas,

and of Saint Mary Magdalene, the patroness of our diocese,

may our efforts lead to a deeper unity within our community,

reflecting the loving unity that is the Holy Trinity.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord of the past, present and future,

we ask to believe, celebrate and live His redeeming love in Utah. Amen.
