Day 7: Educator of the Laity

Main post image

Intention

That we may be inspired to gain a deeper understanding of the teaching of our faith. 


From his writing...

I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious,  but who know their religion, who enter into it,  who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it. 


Prayer

Pray one decade of the Rosary (any you choose)  and add the prayer of the novena (click on "Pray" below).

Novena Prayer

O God our heavenly Father, we offer You heartfelt thanks for the life and holiness of John Henry Newman. In him You give us an inspiring example of priest and teacher, heroic and humble in his labour for the salvation of souls and the pursuit of holiness. Through his intercession we ask You to lead us by the kindly light of the Holy Spirit, and so grant us peace and joy, in the one fold of the Redeemer. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you! 76 people prayed

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone. Col 4:6
