    The First Friday Club Prayer

    Lord, we truly believe in You, increase our faith. Lord we trust in You, strengthen our trust. We love You, Let us love You more and more. We worship You as our first beginning, may we long for you as our final end. † May we do what You ask of us, in the way You ask, as long as you ask. May we love you as our Lord and God and see ourselves as we really are — Pilgrims in this world, Christians called to respect and love all whose lives we touch.
