This was shared at the Villanova volunteer weekend I joined in May. Sharing it here to easily retrieve it.
Prayer for Alumni Volunteer Leaders
Inspired by St. Augustine
Gracious and loving God,
You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.
We thank You for gathering us here as alumni, united not only by shared experiences but by a shared calling to serve.Guide us, Lord, with the wisdom of Your Spirit.
Let our work be rooted in humility, inspired by love, and directed toward the common good.
May we give generously of our time and talents,
remembering that in giving, we receive—
and in serving others, we come closer to You.Bless our efforts, strengthen our unity, and lead us always in Your truth.
Amen.
