A Catechist’s Prayer
Father of all families, you have called me to
serve the family in truth and love as a
catechist. May I be faithful to this call,
rooted in your Word, and open to the gifts of
the Holy Spirit. May I use these gifts,
especially the gifts of faith, hope, and love,
to serve the family as a witness to you, who
are love and life and the source and destiny
of all families. Let your Spirit enlighten my
mind and strengthen my heart so that I can
be a path of Christ’s love to families,
especially those in need, the homebound
and aged, the disabled and disheartened.
Through the intercession of Mary and
Joseph, I pray for the Church, the Bride of
Christ, whose mission to build a civilization
of love passes through the family.
Amen.
