Pray With Us
Prayer is central to the life of a Loretto Sister. Through prayer we acknowledge God and creation in all its glory and wonder and we bring the needs of the world to our loving God. Many of our senior Sisters have a special devotion to prayer ministry.
Let us pray on the 23rd of each month for the Beatification of our foundress, whose process is carried out through the Office for the Cause of Mary Ward and the devotion of the people who trust in her intercession.
​
Prayer for Mary Ward’s Beatification
God, Creator of all that is good,
we thank you for giving Mary Ward
to the Church and to the world.
Impelled by the fire of your love
she did not shrink from risks,
labours or sufferings.
She lived and worked for your greater glory,
for the good of the Church,
for the nurture of faith,
and for the dignity of women.
She was a pilgrim,
who spread the joy of the Gospel,
a woman for our times.
Grant that through the solemn
testimony of the Church the example
of her life may be a light for all
who seek God’s will.
​
Amen
