From Sister Jo Ann Timmerman, OP, Promoter of Spirituality

Prayer for Chapter 2011

Fire of Love, creating us anew,
open our hearts to this profound time of grace
as we enter fully into the sacred work of Chapter.

Bless our gatherings as we pray and study.
In our search for truth, may we listen attentively
to the voice of the Spirit in each other.

Remind us to choose the common good.
Empower us to “fan into flame”
the passion of Catherine.

Call us forth to see and understand anew
what you ask of us today. With great trust,
we open ourselves to your transforming power.

Amen.
