Dear members of the World CLC Community,

please arrange with your local/regional communities to join CLC Canada
in an hour of prayer for our new Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI,
on Pentecost Sunday, May 15,
at your local parish church.

Ask for God's blessing on his leadership,
as we labour together to accomplish the mission of Christ.

Union with Christ leads to union with the church
where Christ here and now continues his mission of salvation.

Therefore, we work together with the hierarchy,
motivated by a common concern
for the problems and progress of all people
and open to the situation in which the church finds itself today [GP/Charism]

At our hour of prayer in Canada on Pentecost Sunday we will remember you all - please do the same for us.
"Be not afraid",

Kati Gumbmann and Graydon Nicholas, (Presidents for CLC Canada)
and Peter Chouinard (President Elect)
