Empowering God, we thank you for calling us to be co-journers with Jesus Christ, who laid his life for the sake of carrying on your mission of establishing your kingdom on earth. . Equip us we pray that we may be strengthened in sharing your plan for your creation with a commitment even to offer our lives for this mission like your disciples and apostles. Help us to face the challenges in this mission; the pain and sufferings with a hope to make the kingdom of God Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit One God, now and forever more. Amen.
