October 2002

Loving God,
source of all life and goodness,
we praise and thank you
for the gift of our vocation
to the Society of Jesus,
for your call to us to be
faithful companions of your Son.

Help us, as you helped
Sts. Jean de Brebeuf,
Isaac Jogues
and their companions,
to witness more effectively
to your grace and power
at work in the world.

Inspire us with greater zeal
for service of others,
enflame our hearts with a
deeper love for your people,
and empower us to proclaim the
liberating message of the Gospel.

May our lives and works be such
beacons of joy, hope and love,
that others might seek to join us
in our mission of service to You
and your Church.

We ask this in the name of
Jesus our Lord.

Amen.
