Day 7: Novena Prayer to St. Peter Chanel
To assist each unit to find creative forms of vocational ministry, appropriate to the unit’s resources, that will inspire young people in the discernment of their vocation.
Lord, we ask you to help us bear witness to the beauty of the Marist vocation wherever we are and however we can.
Loving God, you inspired Jean-Claude Colin to live a life faithful to the Gospel and in the spirit of Mary. If it is your will that he be honored as a saint to the glory of your name, please show us the favor he enjoys in your sight by granting us an increase of vocation through his intercession. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Novena prayers can be found HERE.
