Prayer for Synod 2026

​

​​    Blessed Trinity, Source of our life and our unity.

    We ask for your presence with and within us as we undertake this synodal journey.

     Create in us, and in all those responsible for preparing the synod, a decerning spirit.

     Help us to deepen our relationship with you and with one another over the months and weeks ahead.

     Grow in us the fire of your love, that we may eagerly respond to your loving invitation to spread the joy of the Gospel and to serve the poor, suffering and vulnerable.  

     Form us to be better disciples, creating vibrant, mission-oriented communities of faith, hope and charity.

     We ask this through the intercession of our diocesan patrons, Mary, the Immaculate Conception, and St. Matthew.

Amen
