At Catholic Leadership Institute, prayer is always at the forefront of our ministry and a top priority among our team members. Each afternoon, our team comes together for 15 minutes of prayer, led each day by a different member of the team, a bishop, or a board member. During this time, we pray for all who make the mission of CLI come to life, including our donors, board members, and our partners.
The Prayer for Leaders is one that takes central precedence over our in-person and virtual sessions, meetings, and events. This prayer was created by former Board Member, David Savage, while he and the young adults of St. Katharine and St. Isaac parishes in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia fulfilled their commitment of 2000 hours of Adoration during the Church's 2000 Jubilee Year.
Please join us in praying this prayer for all leaders in the Church.
Prayer for Leaders
Dear Lord,
We pray that you will create among us Catholic leaders; individuals made in your image who will apply your teachings in their lives and positively impact our families, our workplaces, our communities, and our Church.
Help us to inspire those with whom we come in contact to share their God-given talents, to do your will and to find a place in your kingdom where their deepest joys and the world’s deepest hungers meet and cry for their special qualities and abilities.
Make us leaders, Lord, leaders with strength and courage to follow you. Leaders who make your love visible to the world in all of our words and actions. We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
