(TO PRAY EVERY FRIDAY REMEBERING CEE WEEKENDS
AROUND THE WORLD)
O’ Mary, our Mother and Mother of Jesus, with your motherly care, please pray with us
now for all the couples and families who serve in Catholic Engaged Encounter
around the world. Give your maternal protection to all the team couples
and priests, to the helpers and to all the couples who have experienced Catholic
Engaged Encounter, and especially to those who begin their weekend today.
Together we pray:
Heavenly Father, today
is Friday and we recall Jesus’ self-sacrifice as we surrender into your hands
Catholic Engaged Encounter throughout the world. Please protect all who serve
you in this apostolate. Guide us in everything we do and give us the
wisdom and commitment needed to glorify you and to build Your Kingdom and your
Church.
O’ Jesus, our brother,
we offer you our service in Catholic Engaged Encounter in gratitude for your
love poured out on the cross on Good Friday. Please help us, so that all we do
will be just as you want it to be. May we truly serve engaged couples
with your love and joy; and so, enrich their future marriages and families.
Dear Holy Spirit,
please enlighten all engaged couples who, this week, take part in Catholic
Engaged Encounter. Enable them to recognize you in their love for each
other, and to embrace the couple commitment for their lifetime.
Amen
