Prayer FOR the month of MAY

Lord our God, you chose Mary to be the mother of your Son.

You chose her from the very beginning for this mission and in so doing preserved her from the stain of original sin.

We ask Mary to join us in our prayer.  By the power of the gospel message, may young people heed the call of Jesus to repent and turn away from sin.  Guide their steps so that they may always choose what is good and holy.

Open their ears and hearts to hear how you are calling them to serve You and their neighbor.  Embolden them with courage as they face difficulties in their life.  Deepen their faith and trust in your love and mercy.  Open their eyes to see the needs of their brothers and sisters and respond with help.

May they turn to the communion of saints, especially to the Mary, Queen of all Saints, and other young men and women who have walked the journey of life.  By their prayers and example may they one day merit the grace of eternal life.  Amen.                                                --Fr. Edward Looney

Let us pray,
O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful, look mercifully upon Thy servant Francis, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church: grant him, we beseech Thee, that, by word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, he may attain everlasting life. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
