Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
This is Jesus' invitation to discipleship in Matthew 11:28-30.
Father Patrick M. Crino, Pastor
Let us keep our dedicated Catechists in our prayers throughout this upcoming school year.
Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists.
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 heralds 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 judgment about how to apply them in life;
courage to persevere even in the face of adversity;
reverence before all that is sacred and holy;
and that loving zeal which leads others to a transforming encounter with your Son.
We pray this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
