Holy Name Parish Prayers

PRAYER FOR THE GRACE OF GOOD EXAMPLE (2010)

Holy Spirit, Teacher and Guide,

show us how to live in imitation of Jesus.

Whatever our age, inspire us

to cultivate lives of Christian virtue and holiness,

that by good example

we can be recognized

as authentic disciples of Jesus.

Deliver us from the constant temptation

to conform to the standards of our times.

May our everyday choices and behavior

speak with integrity

of our friendship with Christ.

Use us as your chosen instruments,

that as we put our faith into action

we may be a positive influence

in shaping the world around us.

Spirit of God, transform us.

Help us benefit from the good example of one another

that with mutual support

and at all cost

we may render together

a powerful witness to the Gospel.  Amen.
