We, the Parish family of Nativity of Our Lord, proclaim that by our Baptism we have received the message of Christmas – the great love God has for all people – and proclaim that love to all we meet, and so make present the Kingdom of God on earth by service to others and by working for justice and peace. †
Prayer for the Spiritual
Renewal of Our Parish
O God, in your love you created us.
In your mercy, You redeemed us
through Jesus Christ, your Son.
In your goodness You guide us and sanctify us
through the power of your Holy Spirit.
We ask that You renew our spirits.
Reawaken in us the knowledge of your presence with us,
and of our need for You as we journey through life.
May our relationship with You, which is our faith,
be our strength for the journey.
May your people in Nativity of Our Lord Parish
renew their commitment to worship You
in spirit and in truth,
through the participation in the celebration of Mass,
and the sacraments.
Recognizing that Jesus is truly our Bread of Life,
may we receive Him in the Eucharist regularly.
We pray for ourselves and for all members of our parish,
especially those most in need of our prayers
and your grace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
