Keep Us Watchful and True

O Love eternal, prosper and strengthen us in the work we have undertaken in your name in our families, churches and communities.  May the world not mold us today; make us strong enough to mold the world.  O God, keep us watchful and true by keeping our eyes on you who endured the cross for the joy set before you.  By your grace make us partakers of that joy.  Continue to call us to be your disciples until in serving you we find perfect freedom.  In your blessed Name we offer this prayer.  Amen.
