SAINT LOUIS
UNIVERSITY
UNIVERSITY PRAYER
God, our Father, source of all goodness and
wisdom, we adore You. You have called us,
CICM - Louisians, with a sense of mission.
Dedicated to the Incarnate Word and under
the protection of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary, our model of discipleship,
we dare to go to places where the Gospel
values are most needed, where people are
excluded and marginalized, and where
culture or justice is neglected.
And for those times that we have failed to do
Your will, we humbly seek Your mercy and
forgiveness.
We thank You for the opportunity to be part
of Saint Louis University. As we pray for our
beloved University, may we be inspired and
united in heart and in soul to follow
the living and pioneering example of Father
Theophile Verbist and Saint Aloysius Gonzaga
in the care of the abandoned
in our midst.
As You restore our strength and dignity,
give us the grace to help make Saint Louis
University a real home and a place of peace,
hope, and love, where we work together for
academic excellence and missionary spirit.
Through Your Holy Spirit, guide us along the
path to holiness, as we aspire to become
Christ's image to one another in the
realization of Your Kingdom here on earth.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
Amen.
