Let's Build
a Civilization
of Love
Our Mission
Global Outreach, a Catholic exchange program, is dedicated to fostering a civilization of love across Central and Eastern Europe and the United States. Through the formation of young, faith-filled servant leaders, we strive to renew the Church and society by empowering Catholic students to become compassionate global leaders. We invite our participants and supporters to prayerfully live out Catholic social teaching, engage with global issues, and work together in building a civilization of love and peace.
Global Outreach Prayer
Dear God,
Your mercy shines upon us every day
And you are always with us.
I ask you for one thing,
That I will be aware of your presence
As often as possible.
Dear Lord, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I should thank you more.
Thank you for the simplest things, for my talents,
For people who care about me,
And for your love toward me,
But the most important thing for which I thank you,
O Lord, is the gift of life.
I thank you for it every day when I get up,
In every situation
When I give and receive love from others,
And even when I struggle.
My struggles are hard,
But I know that they are my offering to you –
An offering leading to eternal life.
Everything depends on you,
Lord, my God,
So why am I in fear of the future?
Why do I collect things instead of giving?
Please, give me the love
With which I can help people in need
And with which I can work with you, dear God,
To build the civilization of love.
Bless the Global Outreach Program
That people involved in it may become
True dynamic servant leaders.
Through the Holy Spirit and Your Son,
Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
