Eternal God, you radiated your love in the joy of your
servant St. Philip.
Filled with the same spirit we pray:
℟. Make us instruments of your peace, O God.
Inspire your Church’s work in youth ministry and faith
formation. ℟.
Help teachers, coaches, and youth directors to minister
with patience, kindness, and love. ℟.
Move us to greater compassion and care for those who
are sick or suffering. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God fill our hearts with a deep love for Jesus that
draws us and all people more deeply into the Body of
Christ.
Amen.
