God in Heaven,
As we begin our journey today, we pray that You will accept the efforts we make on this pilgrimage. We offer it in praise of You and with love for all that You have created.
Be our companion along the way, our guide at the crossroads, our strength in weariness,
our defense in danger, our shelter in heat and cold, our light in darkness, our comfort in discouragement. Open our hearts to everything that we encounter, to see You in our human brothers and sisters and in every being which You have made, for all things speak of You.
Help us to understand Your will and to follow it with courage, confidence, and joy.
We pray that, with your grace and guidance, we will share your Good News with every creature and become agents of reconciliation and healing for all of Creation.
May our witness be a leaven of authentic hope, the harbinger of the new heavens and the new earth which You have in store for us. Help us to remember that this pilgrimage is just one step on our journey to you.
We pray in a special way for our new Pope Leo and new Archbishop Michael McGovern for their intentions. Give them the strength and wisdom they need to guide your pilgrim Church on earth and here in Omaha.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
