My ANCOP Prayer

Answering the Cry Of the Poor is a noble and difficult task.  Dear Lord, you have given us this huge responsibility and we cannot do this without you.  We ask you to

Nourish us each and every day. Provide us with the wisdom to understand the needs of the poor, be compassionate of their situation and be totally dedicated to their welfare.  Allow us our dear Lord to

Collectively work as a team in order to maximize your intended blessings for the poor.  Be in the center of our work dear Jesus, and enable us to see you in whatever we do for your children.  We ask the Holy Spirit to give us the courage to graciously

Offer our time, talent and treasure in our work for the poor, expecting nothing in return, aware that we are working for God’s greater glory.  Allow us to see the importance of this work, be your instruments of good and genuinely love the poor.  Heavenly Mother Mary, please help us

Pray for our work so that our activities will gain the favor of your son Jesus Christ.  We likewise ask that may God specially bless our work as we reach out to those with the means to help those who have less in life.  We affirm that all of these are possible only with God as we work in Answering the Cry of the Poor.

Amen.

Note:  I was inspired to write an ANCOP prayer during Mass on Feb. 23, 2014. I mentally composed this prayer during my Blessed Sacrament visit on that day. I prayed on what to do next and publishing it is best.
