E te Atua Atawhai huhua, God of unbounding mercy,
You who ignite the flames of love and justice,
kindle in us a new spark of mercy.
May the spirit of Catherine McAuley guide our hearts,
that we may serve with aroha,
walk with justice,
and embrace all with compassion.
Bless our hands for the work ahead,
our voices for truth,
and our hearts for the mission of Mercy,
today and always.
Āmene.
