God, our sun and shield, you enlighten your Church through the fidelity of holy men and women. In company with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton we pray: 

Favor us, O God.  

Shower every grace and gift upon the Sisters of Charity and all who serve in education and health care. 

Favor us, O God.  

Unite people of faith in addressing homelessness and caring for those in need. 

Favor us, O God.  

Comfort and strengthen those who grieve. 

Favor us, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us with every gift of the Spirit and guide us in the ways of love, through Jesus the Anointed One. Amen.
