Pray with Catholic Charities
Jesus taught us to “ask, seek and knock” for all we need from our heavenly Father. At Catholic Charities, we’ve know firsthand that when we do, God responds in ways that change lives for our teams, those we serve and our supporters.
Join us as a prayer partner and help shape how we invite God into our work and serve our communities.
Our Prayer Focus
Each month, we’ll email you our prayer of focus and let you know of specific needs for our agency and those we help.
Loving God, Lord of the Sabbath, Master of the Vineyard,
As we seek to respond to this call of dignity and rights of workers, may our wills be aligned with Yours to promote an economy that protects human life, defends human rights, and advances the well-being of all.
We look toward the perfect unity of the Blessed Trinity as an example of unity for family and community to strive for. As we turn to You, renew us with confidence and compassion as we invest our hearts into Your people.
We proclaim Your greatness, O God,
Your praise ever in our mouth;
Every face brightened in Your light,
For You hear the cry of the poor.
We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of Gods creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored.
Empower us to join hands on our journey of faith. Send us Your Spirit of hope, so that we may work to alleviate human suffering and foster charity and justice in our world.
You molded man from the good Earth of Your creation and made him in Your image. We recognize that You have made us stewards of this world and we are called to protect what You have given us. We give You praise for the abundant beauty offered to us in this world. As we come together in prayer to help protect Your creation, we ask You to guide us to better cultivate our surroundings so we may please You.
We praise you as our Creator, wondering at Your design and purpose for each of us. We confess that we rarely think about the divinity of the daily work you put before us. Additionally, we also frustrate the work of others, dismissing their efforts or denying their investment of heart and mind. Create in us a true understanding of our high calling and show us how to extend our hands to those who might not yet know their worth in You.
God of hope and mercy, we lift up to you all victims of natural disasters and those responding with assistance and aid. Protect all who are in any form of danger; provide practical help to those in need; strengthen the weary, console the grieving, heal the suffering; and bless those engaged in disaster relief efforts with safety and courage. Help all people of good will respond with compassion and generous hearts. Amen.
Thank You for bringing us to another New Year, filled with opportunities to bless others because You bless us first every morning. Let this year be one of unusual opportunity to honor and glorify You. Please equip us with Your strength, patience and energy to point the way to You and bring You joy.
