Prayer for the Laity

Heavenly Father,

you have called us all to holiness

which means sharing in your divine life.

Fill us with a sense of our true dignity

as those called to be your daughters

and sons in the world

and your ambassadors of justice,

love and peace.

Give us the desire to be worthy

of this great calling

and the courage to live up to it.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
