Stir Us Up to Serve

Stir up, O Lord,
the wills of your faithful people
that they may bear many fruits of good works,
and because of your faithfulness
receive your great reward;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.
