Homily at Gesu:
closure of the GC35
The Word of God, however, invites us to go to the source of this experience and to make sure that it is being transformed into mission, an all embracing mission, a mission which will continue to bear fruit in others.
We pray, therefore, that this experience as well as the word of God we have heard today will bear fruit in transforming our own lives and the lives of others, so that the faith which we communicate may always be a transforming faith. This is what I ask for all of us.

PRAYER FOR THE GROUP
BLESS OUR GROUP, LORD. WE ARE FEW BUT WE WORK HARD; WE ARE DIFFERENT BUT STRUGGLE FOR UNITY; WE EVEN MAKE THE OTHERS SUFFER AT TIMES, BUT OUR LOVE IS STRONGER THAN OUR JEALOUSY, AND OUR COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER IN YOU STRONGER THAN OUR GRIEVANCES. BLESS US IN THE DAILY ROUTINE THAT BRINGS US TOGETHER HOUR BY HOUR IN MOMENTS OF TENSION AND OF RELAXATION, IN FUN AND IN WORK, IN CONSULTATIONS AND IN PRAYER. BLESS OUR PLANNING TOGETHER, OUR EFFORTS TO BACK WITH THE WHOLE GROUP WHATEVER ANYONE OF US DOES. BLESS OUR GROWTH INTO UNITY THROUGH NOBLE IDEALS AND EARTHLY REALITIES. MAKE US TRULY A "COMPANY OF GOOD MEN" THAT OUR PRAISE MAY BE PLEASING TO YOU.
