A Catechist's Prayer

Blessed are you, O God of all creation.

     From the dawning of life you have called me

         by name.

     From the waters of my Baptism you set me

         on the path to this day.

In your generosity you have brought me to this time

     when I am blessed to journey with your children

     as they come to share in your mercy

         and goodness.

Send the Holy Spirit to guide us on our way

         in this time of preparation.

Help me to remember that it is through your Son,

     by the power of the Holy Spirit,

     that these children will come to you. Amen.
