Synod - 2021/2023 - Synode

We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts; Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder. Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.

All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever.

Amen.

Nous nous tenons devant toi, Esprit Saint, alors que nous nous réunissons en ton nom.

Avec Toi seul pour nous guider, fais de Toi la maison de nos cœurs ; Enseigne-nous le chemin que nous devons suivre et comment nous devons le suivre.

Nous sommes faibles et pécheurs ; ne nous laisse pas promouvoir le désordre. Ne laisse pas l'ignorance nous conduire sur un mauvais chemin ni la partialité influencer nos actions.

Fais que nous trouvions en Toi notre unité afin que nous puissions cheminer ensemble vers la vie éternelle et ne pas nous écarter du chemin de la vérité et de ce qui est juste.

Nous te demandons tout cela, toi qui es à l'œuvre en tout lieu et en tout temps, dans la communion du Père et du Fils, pour les siècles des siècles.

Amen.
