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.

Dear Lord,

We thank them for their all-encompassing love, for their commitment, care, and kindness.
We thank them for their wisdom, for helping us grow and flourish.
