The Offertory Prayer<br />
(see insert)<br />
Father, forgive us when inner distractions interrupt our worship, and<br />
coldness of heart quenches your Spirit. Help us to focus our undivided<br />
attention on your divine Word, and warm our souls with a holy<br />
enthusiasm. We pray in Jesus’ name.<br />
Lord, through the generosity of our gifts, may we prove that the<br />
Spirit of Christ’s love and concern is flowing through us. May these<br />
gifts travel where our feet cannot go, and may they reach out where<br />
our hands cannot extend.<br />
