Prayer

Heavenly Father,
send your Holy Spirit on all those preparing for the
Bakersfield OCDS Western Regional Congress. Let
everything they do begin with your inspiration and
be brought to fulfillment for your glory. Help them
to overcome all difficulties in charity. May their efforts
help build up the Carmelite Order, the Church, and our
world so that we may all be one family in You. May our
Congress be a blessing to many.

We ask this through Mary, Mater et Regina Carmeli,
patroness of the Bakersfield OCDS Community,
and in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
