Prayer for Meetings

​Opening Prayer    
​Prayer of Saint Ignatius Loyola
​
Dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous;
teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward
save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.
Amen.

Closing Prayer  
​Pope John Paul II Award Participant Prayer

​God our Father,
Saint John Paul II tells us to trust Christ;
To listen attentively to his teachings,
To fix our eyes on his face,
To persevere in listening to his Word,
To allow him to focus our search and our aspirations and all our ideas and the desires of our heart.
Help us God our Father,
to do this so that all the actions
and decisions of our lives are done with Jesus
who is our Saviour and friend for ever and ever.
Amen.
Our Lady of Knock pray for us, and for the young people of Ireland.
