Make us worthy stewards of the gifts you have given,
as we generously give ourselves for the sake of the kingdom
where he lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever. Amen.

Bless the creators, O God of creation,
who by their gifts make the world
a more joyful and beautiful realm.

Let us pray to God: For the people who mean a lot to us, who give us their love and forgiveness. For the people who encourage us in critical moments and help us grow as people.

God of the prophets you gifted Mary MacKillop with vision and courage.
