Prayer - We Are Called to Be Saints - The Marist Brothers

Reflection activity:
How can I help those that I encounter every day embrace their holiness?
How can I enhance my own pursuit of holiness each day?
Intercessions:
Leader: The examples of sainthood are many, the daily call to make the
extraordinary is constant. Let us pray for the grace to respond with courage and
generosity.
Response: Lord, hear our prayer.
• For the grace and courage to respond without holding back to the
demands of the Gospel, our vocation as Marists and the invitations we
receive from events and people during the course of each day, we pray…
• For those who suffer inner doubt, and skepticism about the world around
them, that they may be inspired by those who have gone before us and
maintained the convictions and faith, we pray…
• That our students, faculties, and staff may see in us a model of the
Christian life, and that some might be inspired to follow in our footsteps,
we pray…
• In gratitude for the Marist example given to our school through
__________ (add local Marist “saints.”) May they rest in peace, we pray…
Our Father
Closing Prayer:
( additional intentions)
Good and Gracious God, we thank you for the examples of the valiant men and
women who accepted their call to bear witness to you in joy and in pain, in
suffering, and even in death. We ask your grace to be as courageous as they
even in the little things that befall us each day, that with joy we might radiate our
convictions and our confidence in your presence with us. This we ask through
Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Saint Marcellin Champagnat…pray for us.
Mary, our Good Mother …pray for us.
Let us remember…
