Prayers for Christmas: Wisdom and Strength in the New Year

dec26_teacher

The Christmas liturgical season is just beginning! Join us through the new year in praying with our missioners and those they serve overseas.

Today’s prayer for Christmas comes from Noemi, a teacher at an after-school program in Bolivia where our missioner Catherine serves.
“Lord, for the next year I ask you to continue to bless me, and to give me wisdom to change things that I can change, and to strengthen me to accept the things I can not change. 
I pray that you bless and cover us with your mantle of prayer over all my family and friends and all the world, so that we behave as brothers and sisters of truth and receive a heart of love.” 

It’s not too late to add your own prayer to our wall.

We prepare and support lay Catholics for two-year international, one-year domestic and 1-2 week short-term mission service opportunities in solidarity with impoverished and marginalized communities across the globe.
