Daily Prayer
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest.” Matthew 9:37 Lord, you chose St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and Blessed Peter Faber to follow you and to begin a new religious order in the Church. Through the intercession of these humble laborers, raise up in the Church vocations to the Society of Jesus. Let them work with the same spirit as the early companions, bringing many to salvation. May all their actions give greater honor and glory to Your name. And if it should please you, Lord, to chose one from among my family, or even me, let the response be joyful and without reservation. I thank you, Lord Jesus, with all my heart, now and forever. Amen
