A community that preaches…

Lord, you have called us to live in community

and we trust that you are with us.

Teach us to welcome one another as sisters

In our frailties and strengths

In our crises and storms

In our deserts and oases.

In conflict and reconciliation.

May the flame of your Holy Trinity

Shape and boost our sisterhood.

May the fire of your Word gather us together

And send us forth to be messengers of hope.

Make us Lord

House of preaching

With gestures that speak of you,

that we radiate the gospel

that we discern and celebrate

that we accompany the people.

that we seek together paths of peace.

May we help each other to grow

in fidelity and humanity

Intercede Saint Dominic

For our communities

That our primary mission may be

To weave mutual love and fruitful dialogue.

Give us wisdom to search for truth and goodness

To build unity and communion.

Holy Trinity, bless and enlighten our community.

Amen.
