God of our longing, you are the praise of all the saints. In company with Saint Kateri we pray:
Draw us closer to you, O God.
Unite people of every nation, tribe, and tongue in the one body of Christ.
Draw us closer to you, O God.
Inspire all nations to secure and protect the rights and dignity of Native peoples.
Draw us closer to you, O God.
Help your Church to be faithful, wise, and sensitive in the work of evangelization.
Draw us closer to you, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the Lord direct our hearts to the love of God and neighbor, in communion with our brothers and sisters in Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
