Embolden us to advocate more effectively in the public square for religious liberty, free movement of peoples with reasonable regulation, and the sanctity of human life, marriage, and the family. Enlighten our minds and our hearts to more fully recognize that Reason and Faith are complementary, that You are the Creator of the Universe, that You have a plan of salvation, and that we, despite our limitations, are called to participate in that plan with the help of Your grace. Impress upon us a greater awareness for our respective vocations. Instill in us a greater love of our neighbors, especially the poor. Imbue us with a greater desire for the Sacraments and for authentic formation in the Faith.
Equip us to bear witness to Your Truth in the Next America, a culture that is ignorant of Your ways and hostile toward Your Church. By the light of Your Spirit, bolster our efforts to understand better the teachings of your Holy Catholic Church. Heavenly Father, we beg You to send down your Holy Spirit upon us to inspire our presenters and to reveal Your Truth to all who are gathered at this conference.
