A Catechist's Prayer
Loving Father, Giver of all that is,
Help me to remember that every gift I have comes from you.
Expand my vision so that I can appreciate your goodness
in the world around me.
Jesus, our Redeemer,
You are the path to the treasures of my heart and soul.
Strengthen my commitment to be a catechist
and deepen my capacity to share your truth with those in my care.
Holy Spirit, Love Divine,
All life and energy flows from you.
Illuminate my thoughts and intensify my desire
to grow ever deeper in my faith.
I lift up my prayer to you, God—Father, Son,
and Spirit—in humility and hope.
AMEN

We may wonder how we can
ask more of catechists who are
already giving so much. Yet
formation is essential; it increases
both confidence and competence
in sharing the good news. It
indicates to catechists—and to the
parish at large—that their role is
important enough to require
training and that they’re committed
to doing their important task well.
God’s blessings as you labor
to recruit, form and support
your catechists!
