God of truth and love,

your Son, Jesus Christ, stands as the light

to all who seek you with a sincere heart.

As we strive with your grace

to be faithful in word and deed,

may we reflect the kindly light of Christ

and offer a witness of hope and peace to all.

We pray for Pope Benedict

to his forthcoming visit to our countries.

May he be a witness to the unity and hope

which is your will for all people.

We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
