~*~*~*~
Father, We pray that you will fan the flame that is within us, that it may burn ever more brightly with love for you and all people.
We pray that others may be drawn to its warmth and brightness that they too may
ignite with the fire of your love.
We pray your flame of love may spread throughout our parish and so make us all true disciples.
We ask this in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
AMEN
