Father,
Through Jesus our Lord and our Brother
We ask you to bless us;
Grant that L’Arche be a true home
Where the poor in spirit may find life,
Where those who suffer may find hope.
Keep in your loving care all those who come.
Spirit of God,
Give us greatness of heart,
That we may welcome all those you send;
Make us compassionate
That we may heal and bring peace;
Help us to see, to serve and to love.
Oh Lord, Through the hands of you little ones
Bless us;
Through the eyes of those who are rejected
Smile on us.
Oh Lord, Grant freedom, fellowship and unity
To all your people
And welcome everyone into your Kingdom.
Amen.
