I recently came across these prayers on the Ministry to Lesbian and Gay Catholics website. The Minsistry to Lesbian and Gay Catholic is an organization founded by Cardinal Roger Mahony and is based out of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

For Lesbian and Gay Catholics

Lord, you are my shepherd, the one who knows my voice, recognizes me, and calls me by my name.
You gather me up, hold me close, and feed me.
You strengthen me when I am weak, heal me when I am sick, and bind up all my wounds.
Lord, you are my shepherd, the one who refreshes my soul, invites me to the table, and welcomes me to dwell in your house.
I am your homosexual child, baptized into your flock, O Lord.
My family and I cry out to you for shepherds here on earth—your church and among ourselves—who like you know us, feed us, care for us, and invite us to your table.

Amen.
