Thursday, April 7th

 DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

In a few weeks (April 17th, during the Easter Break), it will be the feast day of St Kateri Tekakwitha. She was born in a Mohawk village in 1656. When Kateri was four years old, a smallpox epidemic killed her mother, father and younger brother, and left 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 helped her community with the harvest, wood gathering, sewing, and her many hours of prayer. Kateri died on April 17th, 1680 at the age of 24. She was canonized on October 21st, 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.
