Heavenly Father, deserving of all our love,
graciously guide the beginning of our work.
Direct its progress, and bring it to completion.
Bestow Your grace upon those whom we serve.
Bless our priests, deacons, and religious,
make them ever faithful in your service.
Bless our teachers and catechists;
and all those who bring the truth of our
Catholic faith to a world in need of Your love.
Bless all the faithful of this Archdiocese;
grant that they will grow in love of
Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ,
who reigns with You and the Holy Spirit.
We especially invoke the intercession of our patroness the Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculately Conceived. Amen.
United as one church in Western Oregon, Bishop Peter Smith, or a delegate, leads daily morning prayer to center our work in the Lord's vineyard on our mission.
