Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From Deacon Dick~

Catechetical Sunday 2025

From US Conference of Catholic Bishops

      This year’s theme is: “Always be ready to give an explanation…for a reason for your hope” (1 Pet 3:15)

Just as Saint Peter encouraged the believers of his time, he reminds us today that faithful discipleship requires us to be prepared to share the basis of our faith in Jesus and the hope he provides with gentleness and respect. On this Catechetical Sunday, we pray for and bless our catechists who share the basis of our Christian hope with our young people.

A Prayer for Catechists

Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists.

We thank you for their gift of ministry in your Church.

Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the understanding and teaching of your Word.

Grant them also your love that they may be fruitful heralds of your Word and lead others to love you.

Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them wisdom about what is important;

knowledge of the truths of faith;

understanding of their meaning; right judgement about how to apply them in life;

courage to persevere even in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred and holy;

and that loving zeal which leads others to a transforming encounter with your Son.

- We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
