As a national renewal,

the Knights of Columbus

ask us to join in prayer,

to the love of

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

O Lord Jesus, you lived in the home of Mary and Joseph in Nazareth. There you grew in age, wisdom and grace as you prepared to fulfill your mission as our Redeemer. We entrust our family to you. O Blessed Mary, you are the Mother of our Savior. At Nazareth you cared for Jesus and nurtured him in the peace and joy of your home. We entrust our family to you. O Saint Joseph, you provided a secure and loving home for Jesus and Mary, and gave us a model of fatherhood while showing us the dignity of work. We entrust our family to you. Holy Family, we consecrate ourselves and our family to you. May we be completely united in a love that is lasting, faithful and open to the gift of new life. Help us to grow in virtue, to forgive one another from our hearts, and to live in peace all our days. Keep us strong in faith, persevering in prayer, diligent in our work, and generous toward those in need. May our home, O Holy Family, truly become a domestic church where we reflect your example in our daily life. Amen. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us! Prayer composed by Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore

Living the Mission Campaign Prayer

Lord, we turn to you with joy in our hearts, For all that we have and are comes from you. Guide us to become good stewards of the many gifts you have given us. Make Living the Mission a true labor of love for all of us so that our local Church may be strengthened. Give us generous and sacrificial hearts following Your example, providing for our brothers and sisters who are the church in Western South Dakota. Inspire us to build a lasting legacy of faith, so that we, and the generations to follow, will ever more joyfully, boldly and lovingly proclaim and live the mission of Jesus Christ, leading to eternal life.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Eternal God, giver of the good earth and all that sustains life, You promised to send a Savior to free us from sin's chaos and cold. In the fullness of time, You sent Gabriel to inspire Mary to say Yes, and Jesus, the Divine Son and humble child, was born. As we eat the meals of Christmastime, nourish our bodies, souls, family, and communities. Keep us in the freedom of Your Holy Spirit, that truth lived in love may bring forth great goodness and enduring peace. Amen
