The Official Prayer of the Newman Catholic Students’ Society

(adopted during the 2013-14 academic year)

Loving God,

We come before you, the students of the Newman Catholic Students’ Society. Give us minds to know you, hearts to seek you, and feet to follow you. May your presence in the midst of this community unite us in bonds of faith and friendship, and send us out to be your disciples.

Fill our hearts with the joyful hope of your Resurrection, and set us ablaze with the love you manifested on the Cross.
Grant us peace to persevere, wisdom to guide the way, and strength to follow your call.

With heart speaking unto heart, O Lord, lead us, Kindly Light. Amen.

St. John Henry Newman, pray for us!

Let us pray. O God, Who did instruct the hearts of Thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!
