God, our Father, above us,
guide us.
God, the Son, beside us,
teach us.
God, the Holy Spirit, within us,
strengthen us.
God, the Creator of all things,
create in us a more loving faith,
a more constant reverence.
God, our Savior,
comfort those whom we help
with the joy of your ultimate rescue.
God with us,
we thank you for your presence,
we thank you for this calling,
we thank you for this opportunity
to share you with our brothers and sisters,
and to grow in faith through service.
Amen, already.
