SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT de PAUL-CINCINNATI BETTER TOGETHER STRATEGIC PLAN-- 2024-26
Better Together Strategic Planning Prayer Good and gracious God, we thank you for calling us to this good, hard, and important mission. We are grateful for it, and for the people who work together to bring it to fruition. Help us to remember, as we undertake this work: The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us. We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for God s grace to enter and do the rest. We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own. Help us to be patient with each other, courageous in our vision, and bold in the paths we lay. As we craft this plan, help us to always put first the people you have called us to serve. We ask all of this in the spirit of Vincent, Louise, Frederic, and Rosalie. Amen. Adapted from the Romero Prayer by Bishop Ken Untener
