Lord, you make all things new. What was is no longer.
We give you thanks because with you there is always a new
beginning.
You renewed me in baptism and I became a new creation in
Jesus Christ. On that day you called me to proclaim both in
word and deed the Good News that God is the God of life and
His Son, Jesus came to bring new life to us in every human
situation.
We call upon you as a parish family to bestow upon us your
Spirit, along with every grace and blessing as we undertake to
build anew our new parish offices and meeting spaces. We do
so that we might more effectively carry out our baptismal
mission, your mission and the Church’s mission.
Open our hearts to a spirit of generosity and sacrifice.
Bless all those involved in this endeavor. Grant us safety,
satisfaction and fulfillment in our sacrifices and in our working
to build up your Way of Life here at Saint Charles Borromeo
Parish and in our larger community.
Risen Lord we thank you that you make all things new.
With you there is always a new start anew so we thank you. I
thank you too that my life is being made new today. Amen.
