Lord Our God, help us to walk with you on the pathway of the beatitudes and to live out your mission in today's world. Bind us to all men and women of our time so that together we may bring the Good News to the ends of the earth. Open our hearts and our Christian communities to the needy, the afflicted, the oppressed. May we radiate the Living Christ and transform our lives in the hope of the Resurrection. This prayer we make to you who are living God now and forever. Amen.So from 9-10am I will be here in the chapel of the Maison Notre-Dame de Sion, home of the Soeurs Missionaires du Christ-Roi in Gaspé, QC, in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Where will you be?
