For the pastoral activity of the Church, the cooperation of many individuals is needed so that that our community and our parishioners may advance in full maturity in the faith and show forth our faith in the celebration of the liturgy and through their manner of life.
This cooperation is provided by those who devote themselves to catechesis. Enlightened by God’s word and the teachings of the Church, catechists and teachers of religious education impart to others an initiation or a deeper formation in these realities that they themselves have learned as truths to be followed in living and to be celebrated in the liturgy.
Today, we bless the name of the Lord for giving us these co-workers and pray that through the Holy Spirit they will receive the grace they need in their service to the Church.
Let us pray for our Catechists:
Heavenly Father, you are the source of all wisdom and knowledge. You sent your Son, Jesus Christ, to live among us and to proclaim his message of faith, hope, and love to all nations. In your goodness, bless our brothers and sisters who have offered themselves as catechists and teachers of religious education in the Church. Strengthen them with your gifts, that they may teach by word and by example the truth that comes from you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R/. Amen.
Let us pray for our parents:
God our Father, let your peace settle within the hearts of these
mothers, fathers, and guardians. Give them strength and wisdom as they care for their children. Show them how to raise their families with patience and tenderness. Give them strength during the times of greatest difficulty and help them recognize the joys that are part of each day. May they grow in wisdom, understanding, and grace.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who is one with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. R/. Amen.
