The Jubilee of the World of Volunteering is an opportunity to thank, affirm and encourage the many lay people who contribute to the world through volunteering.
PRAYER
Loving God,
May we be inspired by the great witness to mercy provided by those who volunteer their time,
skills and resources in the service of others.
In doing so, these generous individuals make the love of Christ visible in the world.
May we imitate their example, as we ask to be humble instruments in your hands in order to
alleviate the world’s sufferings, and to share the joy and hope of the resurrection.
Amen.
St Teresa of Calcutta, patron saint of volunteers, pray for us!
