Prayer of Renewal
Lord Jesus, You are the Savior of my life! With my whole heart I desire to live in Your radiant light. I wish to enjoy forever the fellowship of Your saints. I firmly reject the dominion of darkness and beg You by the power of Your blood shed on the cross to forgive my sins and cleanse me from all my guilt. I promise with Your gracious help to follow You ever more closely, trusting only in Your abundant mercy. Stir up the gifts of the Holy Spirit in my soul that I may cry out with You, "Abba, Father!" Grant that I may find inspiration and strength through prayer, that I may experience Your abiding presence in the Sacraments, that I may be guided by the truth of Your Word which comes to us in Scirpture and Tradition. Help me to forgive and serve others as You have forgiven and served me. Help me to use the gifts You have given me to build up Your one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. In all my trials, help me to trust that You will never abandon me. Lord Jesus, when my life on earth is complete, send Your Holy Mother Mary to lead me to the eternal home of our heavenly Father together with Saint Joseph and all the saints. I ask all these things in Your holy and glorious Name, Who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
