DEDICATION FOR A SERVANT OF GOD


Lord God,
YUou who know the hidden parts of my heart,
come now and fill me with the spirit of sincerity
as I dedicate myself to You
and to service within Your Kingdom.

Lord,
I desire to serve You and others
with a totality of heart, soul and strength.
I strive to live within
the simplicity of the Gospels,
open and obedient to Your Voice
and chaste and whole in my loving.

Lord and Divine Friend,
I dedicate myself anew to the vows of my Baptism,
to a life of prayer and worship of You.
I re-commit myself to being a servant
as I strive to be Your friend and holy servant
to the needs of those around me
and to the needs of all the world.
May I find my holiness and salvation
here, in this place and at this time,
where You, my God, have placed me.

Lord,
I marvel that You, in Your Divine Wisdom,
have chosen me to be Your servant
and Your instrument of creative salvation.
May my ministry, complete with failings and stumblings,
be leaven for Your Kingdom to rise in our world.
Bless me now with Your Love,
May I live out this dedication and commitment
in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Amen.
