Heavenly Father,
 when your only begotten Son Jesus Christ
 rose from the dead,
 he commissioned his followers
 to “go and make disciples of all nations”
 and you remind us that through our Baptism
 we are made sharers in the mission of the Church.

Empower us by the gifts of the Holy Spirit
 to be courageous and zealous
 in bearing witness to the Gospel,
 so that the mission entrusted to the Church,
 which is still very far from completion,
 may find new and efficacious expressions
 that bring life and light to the world.

Help us make it possible for all peoples
 to experience the saving love
 and mercy of Jesus Christ,
 who lives and reigns with you
 in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
 God, forever and ever.  Amen

– Pope Francis –
