CANON OF THE EMMAUS TEAM
I am a member of an Emmaus
Team; therefore,
I am only one part of a
complete being!
I am an imperfect earthen
vessel, and
I am here in a servant’s
role!
I will serve in humility and
gratitude for the
opportunity to be here, and will
remember that the
Holy Spirit calls for my
love, patience, kindness,
gentleness and self-control in all
things!
I will pray for submission to
the Spirit of this
Weekend and for strength and
commitment to be God’s
person rather than my own person
during these three days!
I will remember that I am
here only as an instrument
through which God can work to renew
His Church-
I am here only by God’s
grace;
I am here only so that He
might do His
mighty acts through me – not
because of me!
I will lift up other members
of the team and candidates
In prayer and ask our Lord to
strengthen them and reveal
Himself to them in wondrous
ways!
I will not overstate or
overemphasize my role
during these three days by any word
or deed-
I will not glorify myself; I
will not glorify any other
member of this team, nor allow
another to glorify me!
I will use “I” as little as
possible during these
three days, and will remember that
all others are the
main reason for my presence and
my prayers!
I will remember at all times that
I am less important
than any other person on this
weekend-
In all things, I will accept
and be obedient to
the authority and discipline
under which I serve!
I have no authority: I have no responsibility except to
be obedient to the Church and
totally responsive to the
ministry of the Holy Spirit!
Whatever passions and
excitement seize me,
I will express through joyful
praise to the Father,
my Lord Jesus Christ, and the
Holy Spirit!
I will give God all the glory
for anything
and everything that occurs on
this weekend.
I will raise my voice only in
praise of Him and will
bow my head in reverence and
submission to Him!
I am only a servant; but God
can use me more powerfully
in this role than in any other
that I might choose!
I am an imperfect earthen
vessel, and
am blessed to be here as a
servant!
I am a member of an Emmaus
Team;
In all things this weekend
I shall pray, “not I, but Christ!”
