Prayer for the Fifth National Encuentro of Hispanic/Latino Ministry

God of Mercy, You that went out to encounter the disciples on the way to Emmaus, grant us a missionary spirit and send us forth to encounter our brothers and sisters, to walk along beside them, listen to their hopes and dreams, rekindle their faith with the fire of your Word, prepare them to recognize you in the Eucharist and send them as missionary disciples to share the joy of the Gospel to present and future generations of every race, language and culture. We ask you this from our burning hearts filled with the Holy Spirit, in the Name of your beloved Son and through the intercession of our Mother, Mary of Guadalupe Star of the New Evangelization Amen.
