PRAYER FOR OUR CONGREGATION
“So ask the master of the harvest to send out

laborers for his harvest” (Mt 9,38)

 

Father,

we thank you for the gift of the religious vocation

that we have received from You, 
for having called us to be and to live

as children and brothers, as a family,

in the midst of the world.

Raise up new vocations to the service of the Kingdom

so that, together, we may show everyone

your love and your mercy.

 

We ask you to strengthen in each one of us

and in our communities the style of creative fidelity

to the charism received from our Father Founder,

Saint Joseph Manyanet.

Strengthen our belonging to our Congregation

so that we can grow in living and embodying

the values of the Gospel proclaimed in Nazareth.

 

Help us to be sons, witnesses and apostles

of the mystery of Nazareth

and builders, from humility and service,

of a more humane, just and united world,

through the Catholic education of children

and young people,

the accompaniment and closeness to families,

and the priestly ministry.

​

May the example of the Most Holy Trinity

and the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Nazareth

lived in communion of life, prayer and action in daily life

let us know how to offer and teach the beauty

of our Christian and religious vocation

to all who participate in our life and mission.

Amen.
