Pray for us

If you have been inspired by our work, and would like to pray for our Communities, you may wish to use the L'Arche prayer:

Father, through Jesus our Lord and our brother, we ask you to bless us.

Grant that L'Arche be a true home, where everyone may find life, where those of us who suffer may find hope.

Keep in your loving care all those who come.

Spirit of God, give us greatness of heart that we may welcome all those you send.

Make us compassionate that we may heal and bring peace.

Help us to see, to serve, and to love.

O Lord, through the hands of each other, bless us; through the eyes of each other, smile on us.

O Lord, grant freedom, fellowship and unity to all your people and welcome everyone into your kingdom.

Amen.
