DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
The feast day of St. Kateri Tekakwitha was last week
on April 17th. She was born in a Mohawk village in 1656. When Kateri was
four, a smallpox epidemic killed her mother, father and younger brother, leaving Kateri with impaired vision
and a scarred complexion. An uncle and some aunts raised her. Kateri was a hard
worker, leading a quiet life because of her limited vision, but helping her
community with the harvest, wood-gathering, sewing, and her many hours of
prayer. She died on April 17, 1680, at the age of 24. She was canonized on
October 21, 2012.
Loving God,
Thank you for the example of St. Kateri
who teaches us that prayers are important
and that we can all do small things to make this world a better place.
May St. Kateri look upon us and offer our prayers to
you.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
St. Kateri … pray for us.
