Concluding Prayer

God, Creator of all peoples, you gave us the cross of your Son Jesus as your wisdom and power,

as weapon entrusted to Missionaries sent to proclaim the Good News.

The cross of Jesus is the master book for all Christians on earth;

your beloved ones find truth in it they learn humility, dedication and love.

The Cross of Jesus reconciles humanity to you, God of all ages to come.

It binds in love all the children of Adam and Even, our parents.

Your Cross, Jesus, reminds us of your grace conquered at the price of your death.

By your cross, we are blessed with wisdom from on high.

We meditate on this important book, the Cross, chalice for Christ and all Christians,

foolishness and scandal to those who don’t believe, and triumph for all your beloved,

sun of justice for our hearts to love.

No other book brings us more energy, love for those who are in need,

challenge that push us onward as missionaries to everyone.

Power of God, made human, the least of all, divine cross,

triumph over us who feel your burden. If we die with Jesus, we also live with him. For ever.  Amen.
