Prayer for Mission #1

(To Saint Eugene de Mazenod.)

God our Father, we thank you

for having called Saint Eugene de Mazenod

to follow Christ the Saviour and Evangelizer.

Passionately in love with your Son Jesus

and sharing in his compassion for humanity

Eugne put himself unconditionally

at the service of the Church

for the evangelization of these most in need.

Through his intercession help us to reach out

with the healing touch of Christ

who calls us to holiness

and to Mission.

May we build communities

which are signs of your presence,

and share the Good News

of salvation with all peoples.

For this we dedicate ourselves,

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Saint Eugene de Mazenod,

Share with us your love for Christ.

Saint Eugene de Mazenod,

Help us to stand firm in goodness.

Saint Eugene de Mazenod,

Be with us in all our efforts.
