Nurturing God, you sustain your Church by your sacraments. In company with St. Athanasius we pray: O God, lead us along the everlasting way.
Nourish your gifts of compassion, wisdom, humility, and prayer in Pope Francis, bishops, pastors, and catechists.
O God, lead us along the everlasting way.
Restore and sustain hope in those who are distressed, grieving, or discouraged.
O God, lead us along the everlasting way.
Inspire the insights, research, and instruction of teachers, theologians, and scientists.
O God, lead us along the everlasting way.
Our Father . . .
May the peace of Christ reign in our hearts, now and always. Amen.
