St. Kateri Tekakwitha

St. Kateri Tekakwitha Lily of the Mohawks

Your love for Jesus, so strong, so steadfast, grant that we may become like you. Your short and painful life showed us your strength and humility. Grant that we may become forever humble like you. Like the bright and shining stars at night, we pray that your light may forever shine down upon us, giving light, hope, peacefulness and serenity in our darkest moments. Fill our hearts, St. Kateri Tekakwitha with your same love for Jesus and grant us your strength and courage to become one like you in heaven. Amen.

Prayer by Harold Caldwell in honour of the canonization of St. Kateri.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha Our Elder Sister in the Lord,

Discreetly, you watch over us. May your love for Jesus and Mary inspire in us words and deeds of friendship, of forgiveness and of reconciliation. Pray that God may give us the courage, the boldness and the strength to build a world of justice and peace among ourselves and among all nations.

Help us, as you did, to encounter our Creator God present in the very depths of nature, and so become witnesses of Life. With you, we praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
