Bishop: Bishop: Prayers of the Faithful Confirmation 2014/2015 My dear friends, let us be one in prayer to God our Father as we are one in the faith, hope, and love His Spirit gives. For these sons and daughters of God, confirmed by the gift of the Spirit, that they may give witness to Christ by lives built on faith and love, let us pray to the Lord. For the newly confirmed, who have received the fullness of God s Spirit, that standing at the altar of the Lord they may share the banquet of Christ s sacrifice, calling God their Father in the midst of the Church, let us pray to the Lord. For their parents and godparents who led them in faith, that by word and example they may always encourage them to follow the way of Jesus Christ, let us pray to the Lord. For the holy Church of God, in union with Francis our pope, Gerald our bishop, and all the bishops, that God, who gathers us together by the Holy Spirit, may help us grow in unity of faith and love until His Son returns in glory, let us pray to the Lord. For all men and women, of every race and nation, that they may acknowledge the one God as Father, and in the bond of common fellowship seek His kingdom, which is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, let us pray to the Lord. God our Father, you sent your Holy Spirit upon the apostles, and through them and their successors you give the Spirit to your people. May His works begun at Pentecost continue to grow in the hearts of all who believe. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
