We turn to you in prayer, seeking your intercession and guidance. You were a shining example of love and compassion, dedicating your life to serving the poor and the suffering.
We ask for your help in living a life of selfless service and love, as you did. Inspire us to see the face of Christ in every person we meet, and to respond with love and compassion.
We ask for your guidance in our efforts to serve others, and for the courage to do so even in the face of difficulty or opposition.
We ask for your blessings on those who are in need, especially the poor, the sick, and the forgotten. We pray for the grace to be instruments of your love and compassion, bringing hope and light to those who are in darkness.
We give you thanks for your life of service and love, and for the inspiration you continue to be to us. We ask that you continue to watch over us, and lead us to the eternal love and joy of heaven.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
