Our Institute, born from the Heart of Jesus,
is preparing to celebrate its next General Chapter.
Send us your Spirit, so that guided by this same Spirit,
we may see the signs and events of our time with the eyes of faith,
with hope and trust in the future before us.
To you we entrust this time of preparation.
May it be for us a time of grace.
Increase our faith, strengthen our hope,
and intensify our love.

Give us the capacity and courage to overcome
our uncertainties, doubts, and fears.
Show us the way you desire us to go,
giving us the grace to follow it
with courage and zeal.

Enlighten our minds so limited by our own poverty
and incapacity to see beyond ourselves.
Open our hearts to the creative and active charity
exemplified by our Mother, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.

Mary, Mother of Grace, hear our prayers.
Make us docile and open to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Inspire our options for mission and guide our steps all for
“the greater honor and glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”
AMEN
