Saints LightPrayer for Catechists and Teachers
A prayer for catechists, OCIA teams, parents who teach the faith at home, and every school teacher; St John Baptist de la Salle is patron of teachers and St Charles Borromeo is a patron of catechists; written for this app. Pray it at the start of a school or catechism year.
The prayer
Lord Jesus, Teacher and Master, you taught the crowds with patience and explained the Scriptures to your disciples along the road. Bless all who teach, especially those who hand on the faith.
Give them a deep love for the truth and a deeper love for those they teach. When they are tired, renew them. When their students are restless, give them patience. When they feel their work makes no difference, show them the seeds you are quietly growing.
Let them teach first by the way they live. Holy Spirit, speak through them. St John Baptist de la Salle and St Charles Borromeo, pray for them. Amen.
