Faculty Meeting Prayer
Foreign Language Department
By God's Grace prayer unites all his people, beyond any language, border, and culture. The language of prayer is that of the universal language of God's love. Prayers of our faith span the globe and can have amazing stories of uniting, take for example the French origins of the prayer of Saint Francis. So today let us pray in multiple languages.
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
Au nom du Père et du Fils et du Saint Esprit
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espiritu Santo
Prayer of Saint Francis
Claudettte:
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Eric:
ubi dubium, fidem;
ubi desperatio, spem;
ubi caligo, lucem;
ubi tristitia, laetitiam.
Elizabeth:
Que no me empeñe tanto
en ser consolado
como en consolar,
en ser comprendido
como en comprender,
en ser amado
All:
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
