Merciful Father,
We praise you and give you thanks for the gift of Jesus your Son, and the presence of your Holy Spirit since the Gospel was first brought to the people of South Texas.
For 150 years, your sons and daughters in the Archdiocese of San Antonio have strived to live in sacramental communion to make missionary disciples of your beloved Son Jesus Christ in preparation for the promise of Eternal Life.
Grant us a missionary spirit, that we may continue to live as a synodal Church, encountering and accompanying people of all generations from every race, language, and culture, walking united in Christ.
May the grace of this Jubilee reawaken our prayer life, strengthen our renewal as a Eucharistic People, and lead us to proclaim your Gospel with courage, for all to come to know you in the Breaking of the Bread.
May your Holy Spirit, with our patron Saints, St. Anthony of Padua and Our Lady of Guadalupe, guide and bless our Archdiocesan family as Pilgrims of Hope, encountering Christ, united as Church, and sent by the Spirit.
Amen
O Holy Spirit, receive the perfect and complete consecration of my whole being.
In all my actions, grant me the grace of being my Light, my Guide, my Strength, and the Love of my heart.
I surrender myself to You, and I ask You for the grace to be faithful to Your inspiration.
Holy Spirit, transform me through Mary and with Mary into a true image of Christ Jesus, for the glory of the Father, and the salvation of the world.
Amen.
