Bishop's Prayer Campaign for Southern Africa
​

Merciful Father, send forth your Holy Spirit upon us the people of Southern Africa.
May we hear anew the voice of your Son, Jesus Christ,
inviting us to walk with him across the turbulent waters of our time:
“Courage, it is I. Do not be afraid.”
 
We invoke the powerful intercession of Our Lady,
Assumed into Heaven, overshadowed by the Holy spirit,
to bring comfort to the restless,
hope to those who despair,
healing to victims of violence,
and reconciliation where there is division.
May the Holy Spirit heal our families and communities.
 
Grant us ethical and courageous leaders
who put the good of the people before their own interest.
 
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
we commit ourselves to speak the truth with courage,
to act justly in all we do,
to share with those in need
and always and everywhere to respect your gift of life
as we strive to proclaim the values of the Kingdom
in solidarity with all people of goodwill.
 
Amen.
