The Church at Home — Religious Communities (1)
South African Prayer BookO Lord, who for our sakes didst become poor, that we through thy poverty might be made rich: Strengthen and sanctify, we pray thee, all religious communities, that they may enrich thy Church by their gifts of prayer and service; and grant that all their members, living before thee with a single eye to thy glory, may accomplish the work of their vocation; who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end.
