Let us pray.  Eternal Father, we pray that You will give every leader strength, so they do not grow weary in their role. Father, the tasks may seem overwhelming and exhausting, but we pray that every Christian leader will recognize that they are assigned to do Your will. Therefore, we know that at the right time, we will reap the harvest/rewards if we do not give up. Father, we pray for divine strength for every leader and that they will not rely on themselves, but on You. Our Father… 

Mary, you were the first and perfect reflection of Christ, perfect follower of God’s Will, and most faithful disciple of Our Lord Jesus, make us in Your likeness. Hail Mary… 

Most of all make us to be like yourself, Lord, Who even in being God came to be with us in Brotherhood, Servitude, and thereby, showed us what you expect from a Christian leader. May our docility to your holy will bring perfect conversion in our lives, that we may be purged of our sins and transformed into who we were created to be, that is, individual reflections of you in mind and heart. May your grace, love, and mercy envelop us as we carry our crosses, and go forth to complete our mission and your mission in harmony with other leaders. Glory be…
