Asking a blessing on the pro-life teens of Covington Catholic High School, and for continued help for all of us in standing up for the unborn, for God and country, in the face of ridicule and threats …

Prayer to St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American to be declared a Catholic Saint

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, our elder sister in the Lord, discreetly, you watch over us;

May your love for Jesus and Mary inspire in us words and deeds of friendship, of forgiveness and of reconciliation.

Pray that God will give us the courage, the boldness and the strength to build a world of justice and peace among ourselves and among all nations.

Help us, as you did, to encounter the Creator God present in the very depths of nature, and so become witnesses of Life.

With you, we praise the Father, the Son and the Spirit. Amen.

With permission of the Ordinary of Saint-Jean-Longueuil August 10,2012.
