God our Father,
you will all men and women
to be saved and come to the knowledge of your Truth.
Send workers into your great harvest
that the Gospel may be preached to every creature
and your people,
gathered together by the Word of life
and strengthened by the power of the Sacraments,
may advance in the way of salvation and love.
I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
