RCIA: Enter into the Mystery of the Catholic Faith

by Leave a Comment

RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, provides a way for adults and children over age seven, who experience God’s call, to enter fully into the Catholic Church. Included are unbaptized (catechumens), Christians baptized in another denomination (candidates for full communion), and baptized Catholics who desire full initiation through reception of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Through the RCIA, fully initiated Catholics journey with those preparing for full initiation. The Catholic way embraces a daily call to conversion of mind and heart through and with Jesus. Formation begins Tuesday Sep 27th at 7PM at St. Patrick’s Club. To join us, contact Stephanie Pritts at stephanie.p@stmalachi.org.

Prayer for Memorial Day , 2022

by

God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons
and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.  R/. Amen

Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of married couples so that they might reflect the union of Christ with his Church: look with kindness on them.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Almighty Father,

You sent forth your Son as a beacon of hope for all people. As Teacher, he has given us the prime example of the importance of education.
As disciples, we look to him for inspiration and strength. Thank you for the many sisters, brothers, priests, and laypeople who have dedicated their lives in service to our Catholic schools.
Thank you for the teachers and administrators who sustain our schools today.
Thank you for the parents who have given support and witness to the importance of Catholic education in their daily lives.
Thank you for the students who work hard to further their education. Bless Metro Catholic, staff & students and the many people who advance our mission.
May our building be a home for those who seek to grow in faith, knowledge, and service of others. May our community always support one another and exhibit hospitality to newcomers.

Fill our minds with knowledge and wisdom.
May our understanding of the world help us to grow in appreciation for it.

Fill our hearts with gladness.
May we always turn to you in times of need.

Fill our hands with the tools we need to serve others.
May we show them your unceasing love through our actions.

Prayer for the Unborn

by

Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.
Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.
Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image – as well as theirs – made for eternal life.
Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother can give.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.  Amen.

Lord God, illumine our path by the light of Christ who moves us and leads us.

Guide us to discover a small manger in our hearts where a great light still sleeps.

Creator of light, we thank you for the gift of that unfading Star, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Heal our divisions and draw us closer to the Light that we may find our unity in him. Amen.
