In every age, you have called together communities of faith to worship you, and to serve those most in need. You have summoned the faithful of Saint Wendelin to be a light that leads others to your Son. Grant the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to those who lead us in faith. Grant the enthusiasm of that same Spirit to all. Protect us and shelter us in the shadow of your wings. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
