God our Father,
Be with us on our pilgrim journey
Give us grace and courage to step forward in faith and love on the road ahead.
Open our eyes to see your face in all those we encounter.
Open our ears to hear your voice in those who are often ignored.
Open our hearts that we might be faithful disciples of mercy, truth and love.
Amen
