Novena Prayer

Father of light and of love,
from whom every good gift
comes, send forth the power
of your Spirit into our lives to
renew the Church in our year of
evangelization. Open our minds
and hearts, and fi ll us with the
virtues of faith, hope and charity.
Loosen our tongues to sing
your praises and to proclaim the
Gospel of Salvation to all. Use
us as bold instruments of the
New Evangelization. Help us to
realize that without your Spirit
we could never bring peace
and reconciliation to our broken
world nor announce the truth
that Jesus Christ is Lord. We ask
all these things in Jesus’ name,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever.

Amen
