Catechetical Sunday
Sunday, September 20, is Catechetical Sunday. Thank you to all catechists who are passing faith onto the next generation. Please pray for our catechists.
Prayer for Catechists:
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.
