When we were lost and afraid, you sent your only Son, Jesus, the font of life-giving water, to quench our thirsty hearts and, by grace, restore us to life. Open our ears so that we may hear the voice of Jesus, who shepherds us on the path to eternal life, and grant to those who follow Christ refreshment and protection. Increase our faith in your Son so that, with joy, we may announce the gift of salvation to your flock. May your reign eliminate all hunger and thirst and draw all creation closer to you. We ask this through Christ our Risen Lord. Amen. Fr. Robert K. Rien Don Pearson Maryann Peddicord Pastor Director of Music, Organist, Pastoral Secretary Artist in Residence Fr. George Griener, S.J.
