Pray for each other’s needs then conclude with this prayer

Wisdom

I, Wisdom, am with you.

I am a light that will never grow dim.

Love me and you will see me.

Look for me and you will find me.

At the slightest indication of your desire for me,

I will make myself known to you.

Watch for me at the very start of what you are about,

Not just when things get difficult of confusing. 

You will find me, ever present,

sitting at your table.

Even thinking about my presence will help you.

Be aware of my presence, my concern,

my willingness to inspire and to instruct you.

As you meet with each other,

I will meet with each and all of you.

Amen.

~ Paraphrased from Wisdom 6:12-17

“Marists are to help build a church which is percieved in terms of community, compassion, simplicity, mercy.

For this reason Marists embrace and welcome all, exclude no one and have an open heart to all.”

~ Excerpt from “The Marist Laity, A Basic Guide.”
