In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Lord, my God, it is about time for me to begin my holy duty as an usher/greeter for this celebration.
Help me to perform this duty with dignity as I represent not only this parish community but also Your Kingdom and Your very Person.
Remind me how our Lord Jesus was offended by a lack of courtesy when He came to the house of the Pharisee. May all those I encounter: stranger or friend, fellow parishioner or guest, feel only kindness and courtesy from me.
May I, with reverence and friendliness, welcome all who enter our doors.
May I, with attention and diligence, care for the needs of the community, as it worships.
May my prayer during this sacred action be that of watchfulness and the desire to serve others.
I ask, Lord,
that You smile through me,
that You greet through my hospitality,
and that You may be made visible to me in all whom I serve.Amen.
