Prayer of Discernment
we turn to You in this time of change and hope.
As the communities of St John’s and St Thomas’ continue to grow together,
we ask You to stir our hearts with the love that unites,
and lead us in the path of faithful discernment.
You know the story of our people— our joys, our struggles,
our hopes for the future.
As we listen for Your voice,
may we be inspired by the lives of the saints
and the holy names offered for our reflection.
Give us hearts that are open, minds that are attentive,
and spirits ready to follow where You lead.
May the name chosen for our new parish honour the past,
witness to our faith today, and call us forward with renewed purpose.
Come, Holy Spirit, breathe in us.
May this name speak of who we are, and who You are calling us to become.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
