Day 5: Novena Prayer to St. Peter Chanel
To encourage Marists to reflect deeply on the mystery of their own vocation and the call to personal holiness.
Lord, you call us to share in your life by following in the footsteps of your Son. Grant that we may live with you through the trials and difficulties of our lives so that we may also embrace your resurrection.
Loving God, you inspired Jean-Claude Colin to live a life faithful to the Gospel and in the spirit of Mary. If it is your will that he be honored as a saint to the glory of your name, please show us the favor he enjoys in your sight by granting us an increase of vocation through his intercession. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Novena prayers can be found HERE.

Celebrating Earth Day!
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection. This year’s theme is “Our Power, Our Planet.”
As Marists, we are actively concerned and pay close attention to the consequences of global warming and climate issues. We seek to educate ourselves and others about issues affecting our world.
We are reminded of the words by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’ “All of us can cooperate as instruments of God for the care of creation, each according to his or her own culture, experience, involvements and talents.”
