Heavenly Father, You are trustworthy and faithful.
You call us like Saint Peter to be steadfast in faith, bold in action, and to fulfill our true potential.
Forgive us when we hold each other back. Focus our eyes on those in need and empower us
to help. We thank you for the skills, talents and abilities you
give us. Help us to use them to be Christ to all
and to give our all to Christ. Amen
