November Prayer Theme
"Witness of the lay faithful is important in the story of our Church "
During this month of November, as we celebrate the Communion of Saints and remember our heritage of faith, let us give thanks to God for the gift and blessing of the lay men and women who have offered their gifts and talents individually and through groups, organizations and agencies to strengthen the Catholic faith, respond to specific social needs and to help all people grow in knowledge and love of the one true God.
Loving Father of the human family, Our Church of Detroit rejoices in the witness of faith of generations of lay faithful who have been your instruments in building up the Kingdom as they have devoted their gifts and talents for the good of others.
As we celebrate the Communion of Saints, we give you thanks and praise for inspiring and sustaining them; May we also have the courage and perseverance to continue to build on their witness and example.
We ask all this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever. Amen.
