Aboriginal and Islander Catholic Council - Townsville

Father of all,
You gave us the Dreaming
You have spoken to us through our beliefs.
You then made your love clear to us
In the person of Jesus,
We thank you for your care
You own us
You are our hope
Make the knowledge of you grow strong
In all people so that you can be at home in us
And we can make a home for every one in our land
AMEN
