Act of Dedication

You are the temple of the living God and the Spirit of God dwells in you.

Will you dedicate yourselves to lives turned away from self-centredness and exploitation toward the One who has created heaven and earth as a supreme gift of love?

We dedicate ourselves to the love of God the Creator
Will you dedicate yourselves to following the One who is the way, the truth and the life, through whom all things were made and who for our salvation became human among us? Will you love and serve others in the pattern of Christ until he comes in glory to establish his eternal Kingdom?

We dedicate ourselves to the service of Christ the Redeemer
Will you dedicate yourselves to life in the Holy Spirit who gives life in all its fullness? Will you take your place in the Church the Spirit generates and play your part in its mission to the world of bringing unity, holiness, dialogue and transformation?

We dedicate ourselves to life in the Spirit, the Giver of Gifts
The temple of God is holy and you are that Temple. God grant you strength and grace to be the living stones of God’s Church.
