Prayers

Christ Jesus — the Way, the Truth and the Life —Teach us to live the charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism required of us as Knights of Columbus. During this meeting, guide us in our discussions so that we may thoroughly understand the matters in hand, judge them with knowledge and wisdom, and decide upon solutions that will truly give glory to our Father in heaven.
Amen

Christ Jesus, You commanded us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Strengthen us now, as we leave this meeting. Help us to live our lives as an expression of our love for you and our brothers and sisters. Give us the courage and generosity to act with perseverance. Bless our actions so that our influence is felt within and beyond this Council. Make renewal within the Church and the work of the Knights of Columbus instruments of your love for all mankind.
Amen

Heavenly Father, You created people in Your own image. You desire that not even the least among us should perish. In Your love for us, You entrusted Your only son to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Now in Your love, protect against the evils of abortion, those little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.
Amen.

O great and glorious God, You imbued Your holy priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral connection for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day. Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the order of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech You, Heavenly Father, to raise your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and Our Mother,
Amen.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of our family. Enlighten our hearts and minds that we may live more fully this vocation to love. In our daily life and work, may we reflect the self-giving love which You, O Father, eternally show with Your Son and the Holy Spirit. Let Your love be evident in the peace that reigns in our home and in the faith we profess and live. May our family always be a place of generosity, understanding, forgiveness, and joy. Kindly give us the wisdom and courage to be witnesses to Your eternal design for the family; and grant that the Holy Family of Nazareth may always guide our path to holiness as a family. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever,
Amen.
