Gracious and loving God,
You give us special days and seasons to attune our minds and hearts to the nuanced rhythms of our mission to bear your love to the world.
Be with us as we celebrate the Jubilee for Consecrated Life and deepen our awareness of your presence and calling in our lives. We remember especially our pioneer sisters who have served faithfully and zealously in Kansas.
Continue your blessings for us as tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May the grace of the Jubilee strengthen us in hope, deepen our sense of gratitude for your love, and make of us courageous women in days of challenge that we may continue to bear witness to justice, reconciliation, hope, and peace.
Amen
