"We want to be your Church in our homes,  in our
                  offices,  in our communities,  in the places where
                  we study and where we work.  We want to be your
                  Church in the midst of social,  economic and
                  political struggles of our changing world.

                  We want to be witnesses of your love  in all
                  circumstances and situations.

                   Send us forth,  Lord, with hope and vision,  and
                   hear our prayer for peace."
