CONGRESS PRAYER:
We praise You, Lord God Almighty, Who know our hearts, intentions and our plans. We ask that You guide and bless all our preparation, that we will make the 2025 OCDS Congress all for Your greater honor and glory. Grant that this Congress will lead all who plan and attend it to a greater understanding of what You are calling us to as Discalced Carmelite Seculars. May we be inspired to be more faithful in the living out of Your call.
We ask all this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
