Prayer for Charismatic Renewal in the Erie Diocese Heavenly Father, we come before You in repentance for any hindrance that we may have been in regard to Your perfect will for the Charismatic Renewal in the Erie Diocese. We resolve by Your grace to be obedient to you. Father, you said in Your Word, "Again I tell you, if two of you join your voices on earth to pray for anything whatever, it shall be granted you by My Father in Heaven" (Matthew 18:19). Father, we stand on your promise as we pray this prayer. Father, we ask you in Jesus' Name to give us guidance and direction for the Charismatic Renewal in Our Church. Anoint all in authority and reveal to them Your will and Your vision for the Renewal in the Erie Diocese. Father, we pray for the gift of discernment so that we may be obedient to Your Holy Spirit and that You guide and bless all of our undertakings. We ask for obedient, servant hearts to serve the Church, our Holy Father, the Pope, our Bishop, our Pastor and our people - the Body of Christ. Father, may we always be in unity with You, Your Church, and one another. Keep us close to our Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother, and help us to be faithful to your commission in bringing the Gospel to all people. Amen. Father, help us grow in personal holiness and perseverance in prayer as we seek Your will in everything we do, that all honor and glory be Yours and Yours alone. All this we ask in Jesus name, for HE IS LORD, alleluia! Permission by Bishop Michael J. Murphy, March 28, 1990
