Inspired by Magnifica Humanitas
Leader: Incarnate One,
The grandeur of your glory shines forth in every human person your hands have made.
For you have made us all in your image and likeness.
In every face, your perfection is reflected.
In every talent, your creativity glimmers.
In every act of service, your compassion is revealed.
Thank you for calling us to be builders with you and our neighbors, our colleagues, the patients we serve, and all those you entrust to our care.
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When division threatens our communities,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When we fail to see those whom society forgets, those pushed to the margins - the poor, the sick, migrants, and refugees,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When we chase productivity at the expense of people, disregard our own human limits, and seek to build towers apart from you,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When dialogue gives way to polarization, suspicion, or fear,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When truth is hidden by confusion, distraction, or voices that diminish human dignity,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: When peace seems distant, justice impossible, and the common good beyond reach,
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: Teach us to listen, to protect those who suffer, and help us discover the holiness found in our limitations, our need for one another, and for you. Let us labor to make your invisible work visible for future generations.
All: Make us builders of communion.
Leader: Through your grace in Christ, may we bear witness to the grandeur of humanity, created by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and gathered in the communion of the Holy Spirit, and may we proclaim the dignity of every person and help build a world where all may flourish.
All: Make us builders of communion. Amen.
