God, beyond the limits our language or imagination,
yet made know to us in the carpenter of Nazareth,
we give thanks for General Assembly
as an opportunity to be built up in faith and in following;
by the work of the Holy Spirit,
may it be a Council of the Church which enables us
to walk the way that leads to you,
to discern the Truth that reveals you,
and to live the life that proclaims you
for the blessing of the world
to which you came and to which you call us to go;
through Jesus Christ,
