Prayer

Lord God, source of all goodness,

in your divine Providence

You entrusted Blessed Basile Moreau

with the task of sending missionaries

to spread the light of truth

in response to the needs of your universal Church.

We thank you for those faith-filled religious

who risked going beyond the borders of every sort

to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God.

Enkindle in us all,

members of the Family of Holy Cross,

a renewed missionary zeal.

Grant that we may sow the seeds of faith

and be heralds of hope to all peoples,

especially among the poor,

the oppressed, and the marginalized,

that you may be known, loved, and served.

Through the intercession of

Servants of God Flavian Laplante and Vincent McCauley,

co-patrons of our Year of Mission,

give us the grace to respond

generously and wholeheartedly

to the urgent call of evangelization.

We make this prayer in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Amen.
