Year of Faith Prayer

O God, as you sent your Holy Spirit
upon the early Church
in the fiery tongues and the
mighty wind of Pentecost,
so now, we ask you to send that
same Spirit upon us
that we may go forth to proclaim
the Gospel of Christ to every creature. 
We humbly pray that you deepen
your Trinitarian life within us;
make us effective and holy witnesses
of Jesus’ death and Resurrection;
help us to live our Catholic faith
with such joy, conviction and love
that others will be drawn to the
sacred mystery of your Church
and the powerful grace of the sacraments. 
We implore you to make us
ministers of your Word,
in speech and action, in truth and charity,
in the mystery of Jesus’ cross
and the light of his resurrected glory.
Amen.

(Auxiliary Bishop Donald J. Hying)


 

Oración del Año de la Fe

O Dios, así como mandaste tu Santo Espíritu
sobre la Iglesia primitiva
en las lenguas encendidas y el
fuerte viento de Pentecostés,
ahora, te pedimos que mandes ese
mismo Espíritu sobre nosotros,
para que podamos salir a proclamar
el Evangelio de Cristo a cada criatura.
Humildemente oramos que tú aumentes
tu vida Trinitaria entre nosotros;
haznos testigos santos y efectivos
de la muerte y Resurrección de Jesus;
ayúdanos a vivir nuestra fe católica
con tal alegría, convicción y amor
que atraiga a otros al
sagrado misterio de tu Iglesia
y a la gracia poderosa de los sacramentos.
Te suplicamos que nos hagas
ministros de tu Palabra,
en la expresión y la acción, en la verdad y la caridad,
en el misterio de la cruz de Jesús
y en la luz de su gloriosa resurrección.
Amen.

(Auxiliary Bishop Donald J. Hying)
