(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.
