God, our loving Father,

we ask for your blessings upon

our forthcoming Provincial Chapter.

Help all of us to prepare well for it

spiritually and communally.

May your Holy Spirit be our constant

companion to help us and to guide us.

It is in communion with our brothers

that we seek to discover the Will of God

by being a good listening community.

In the spirit of Synodality and our

concern for the ecology we pray that this

Chapter will help us open our eyes to

read the signs of the times and to look to

the future with hope and confidence.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,

through your prayers help us to keep our

eyes fixed on Jesus your Son, the One

who first loved us.

Amen
