Open Your Heart to God's Love

 Prayer for the Success of the ADF 

0' Lord, our God, create in us a heart opened to Your love. Expand our hearts to accept the unlimited love You give us. May we not reject this gift so freely given!

Gracious God, overwhelmed by Your love, may we be moved to change our priorities, placing You and our trust in You at the center of our lives.

Loving God, may the goodness and love, You so generously lavish on us, grow to a deep gratitude in our hearts, so strong in its thanksgiving, that sharing freely of our unique gifts becomes the norm and pattern of our lives.

0' my God, help us realize that these gifts rendered to Your family bring meaningful fulfillment, making our lives worthhwhile and bearing generous fruits in others.

Dear God, may our gifts motivate those around us to also accept Your love into their hearts - creating a community of faith, caring for Your family and committing us to share our spiritual and material gifts as an outward sign of Your love! Amen
