Catechetical Sunday

A Prayer for Catechists

Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists. We
thank you for their gift of ministry in your Church.

Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the
understanding and teaching of your Word. Grant them also your love that they may be fruitful heralds of your Word and lead others to love you. Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them wisdom about what is important; knowledge of the truths
of faith; understanding of their meaning; right judgement about how to apply them in life; courage to persevere even
in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred
and holy; and that loving zeal which leads others to a
transforming encounter with your Son.

We pray this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
