Unite & Pray



While reading my textbook in preparation for my upcoming examination;
 I found the Mary MacKillop Prayer Bookmark.
  In the spirit of Mary Mackillop, shall we unite and pray
 the Prayer of the Church – the People of God.

"God of compassion, God of all people, we praise you for your servant, 
Mary MacKillop, 
who gave her life to serve you in the poor and oppressed.

As she is honoured in our world, 
may we continue to learn to share her vision.

Help us to recognize, as she did, that the poor of our time
 will hear the gospel in the way we serve them. 
Be with us as we strive to follow her and carry out our mission of service and care."
 Amen
