Pray With Us
Prayer in the Spirit of the Two Trinities
God of Inclusive Love,
Christ of Outpouring Love,
Spirit of Communal Love,
breathe in us and among us,
Sisters of St. Joseph and Associates,
May we join together
with the zeal of Jesus,
a zeal marked by generous courage
and humble self-emptying love,
the fidelity of Mary
who was filled to overflowing
with every kind of grace,
and the cordial charity of Joseph
whose service was grounded
in relationship with God
and neighbor without distinction.
Rooted in the rich heritage
of the women who are our past,
seized by the same Love
that impelled them to be in relationship
with the reality of their changing world
and changing times,
inspired by their vision, integrity, and fidelity,
we enter into this our time together
with courage and hope.
Our God, the people of our world,
our Earth, and all creation,
call us to embrace
ever widening circles of communion.
May our time together
impel us to action,
action that stirs up Love,
is connective and inclusive,
and deepens our commitment
to be and become Your people.
