Special Prayer for the Year of Father Kentenich (2017-2018)
God our Father,
In Father Kentenich you have given us a father and a prophet,
a witness and a herald of your message for our time,
enkindled by the Holy Spirit.
Give us of his fire. Give us of his founder spirit.
Let his charism be so alive in us that we can shape the future of the Church and society.
May his vision be our vision:
In the power of the covenant of love, a new world is to arise
– a world in which people form a covenant culture wherever they live and work.
Father in heaven, we ask you:
Accept Father Kentenich into the company of the saints recognized by the Church.
Open the door to him and his mission everywhere
so that he can guide many people on the way to the fullness of life, the way to you.
We ask this of you, in communion with Mary,
our Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
