Loving God and Father, Thank You for the many blessings You have poured out on this Holy Ground. Over five decades thousands upon thousands have responded to Your invitation of love and forgiveness here on these grounds. Thank You for the ways You have touched so many. Thank You for the ways You have touched me personally at this retreat house.

Saving Lord Jesus, I pray now with the same hope-filled faith that has ignited so many on these grounds, that You will save and preserve this sacred ground for the continuation of Your ministry.

Holy Spirit, please inspire people of various abilities and means to be generous and to invest in Your work, the transformation of our hearts! Guide those making decisions. Let them be content with nothing less than God's perfect will.

I pray this in the name of Jesus, the Bright MorningStar and through the inercession of our Lady, who shares the same title, MorningStar, AMEN.
