Prayers

Prayer takes many forms: singing, silence, speaking, suffering, etc.  Prayer is a personal and intimate experience, but also a unifying communal experience.  We practice the prayers below as many voices sharing thier hearts with the Lord, while joining our voices together in harmonized words.

 

 

CLASS PRAYERS

Prayer for Vocations 

O God, You have chosen the apostles
to make disciples of all nations.
By baptism and confirmation
You have called all of us to build up Your holy Church.
We earnestly implore You
to choose from among us
many priests, brothers and sisters,
who will love You with their whole hearts
and will gladly spend their entire lives
to make You known and loved by all.
Amen.

 

Prayer for Reverence for Life

Almighty God, giver of all that is good,
we thank You for the precious gift of human life:

  • For life in the womb, coming from your creative power,
  • For the life of children, making us glad with their freshness and promise,
  • For the life of young people, hoping for a better world,
  • For the life of people who are disabled, teaching us that every life has value,
  • For the life of the elderly, witnessing to the ageless values o

May we defend it and promote it 
from conception to its natural end.
And bring us at last, O Father, 
to the fullness of eternal life 
in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
