2019 ACA Prayer Father in Heaven,  You made us Your children  and called us to walk in the Light of Christ.   Free us from darkness  and keep us in the Light of Your Truth.   The Light of Jesus has scattered  the darkness of hatred and sin. Called to that Light,  we ask for Your guidance.   Form our lives in Your Truth, our hearts in Your Love.   Through the Holy Eucharist, give us the power of Your Grace that we may walk in the Light of Jesus and serve Him faithfully. Amen
