O almighty God,
Lord of the harvest of souls,
we ask You to guide and bless all
who have gone forth to preach the gospel.
Endow them with the gifts of generosity and concern.
Send your Holy Spirit on them,
that He may strengthen them in weakness,
comfort them in trials and direct their efforts.
May He open the hearts of their hearers
to receive Your message.
Let Your revelation enlighten all minds
for the salvation of souls,
and let Your love heal every heart and body
for the happiness of each person.
May all people consciously acknowledge You
and serve You by living the teachings of Your Son.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
