PRESENTATION OUTLINE
A Reading from Gaudium et Spes
Girls: We stand before you, Holy Spirit
conscious of our sinfulness,
but aware that we gather in your name.
Boys: Come to us, remain with us,
and enlighten our hearts.
Girls: Give us light and strength to know your will, to make it our own,
And to live it in our lives.
Boys: Guide us by your wisdom, support us by your power, for you are God,
Sharing the glory of Father and Son.
Girls: You desire Justice for all:
Enable us to uphold the rights of others;
Do not allow us to be mislead by ignorance
Or corrupted by fear or favor.
Boys: Unite us to yourself in the bond of love
And keep us faithful to all that is true.
Girls: As we gather in your name may we temper justice with love,
So that all our decisions may be pleasing to you
And earn the reward you promised to good and faithful servants.
Boys and Girls together:
You live and reign with the Father and the Son,
One God, forever and ever.
Amen.
