Prayer for Catechists

Loving Father, we pray today for our cathechists.
We thank you for their gift of Ministry in your Church.

Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the
understanding and teaching of your Word. Grant them also
your love that they may be fruitful hearlds of your Word and
lead others to love you.

Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them
wisdom about what is important; knowledge of the
truths of faith; understanding of their meaning; right judgement
about how to apply them in life; courage to perserve even
in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred
and holy; and that loving zeal which lease others
to a transforming encounter with your Son.

We pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at St. Luke Parish! The Diocese of Paterson requires all volunteers and/or employees who have regular contact with children and minors to complete "Protecting God's Children" training.
