On Monday and Friday of this week, the Catholic Church will celebrate the feasts of the Apostles, St. Peter, St. Paul, and St. Thomas. Our prayer theme this week will be to seek the guidance of those who walked with Jesus through His ministry; healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and offering witness of the hope that believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God will bring to each of us. We begin with the Apostle’s Creed.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
O Glorious St. Andrew, you were the first to recognize and follow the Lamb of God.
With St. John, you remained with Jesus for that first day, for your entire life, and now throughout eternity. As you led your brother St. Peter to Christ, and many others after him, draw us also to Him.
Teach us to lead others to Christ solely out of love for Him, and dedication in His service.
Help us to learn the lesson of the Cross and to carry our daily crosses without complaint so that they may carry us to Jesus.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
