Sisters of Charity Celebrate 85 Years In Arizona
September 7, 2018
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Thanks to all who made our 85th anniversary in Arizona a huge success.
Opening Prayer,
Sister Barbara Einloth
God of Love and Providence,
We gather this evening
in your name and because of
your continuous care.
Because of you,
innumerable lives now in heaven
and here in the Southwest have intersected
and intertwined through these 85 years.
We thank you for your countless
blessings
friendships
collaborations.
May our time this evening
celebrate the enduring power
of your love “inventive to infinity”
and all those whose lives have contributed – and still contribute –
to your kingdom of peace and joy,
justice and hope.
We pray in the name of Jesus,
who showed us how to be your
image and love here on earth
and through the Spirit,
whose power working among us
can do infinitely more
than we can ask or imagine.
