Complete prayer
He said to them "Come and See." They came and saw where he was staying (John 1:39).
God of all nations, we are most grateful for the first Catholic missionaries and explorers who came to ______________. As strangers in a strange land they brought with them countless skills, talents and traditions, but their greatest treasure was their faith. May the good News of Jesus Christ, which molded and shaped their lives, continue to mold and shape our lives today. Bless our diocese with men and women who will follow in their footsteps to serve the Church as religious brothers, sisters, priests, and deacons.
Lord Jesus Christ, help to hear your call to "Come and See."
