Prayer for the Success of the

2008 Catholic Charity Fund Appeal

Dear Mary, Our Lady of Providence, we turn to you in prayer, and we seek your assistance as we begin our Annual Catholic Charity Fund Appeal.

Inspired by your own example of service, we ask that you guide our works of love; help us to offer generous assistance to all who turn to the Church in their time of need.

Through your intercession, may we grow in faith, hope and love; inspire us to be generous in supporting the Catholic Charity Fund, and allow us to see the face of Jesus in all those we serve.

Fill our hearts with a compassionate spirit, so that the Church in Providence may always fulfill your Son's command to, “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Now filled with hope and confidence we pray: “Hail Mary, full of grace…”
