PRAYER FOR 125 YEARS OF CATHOLIC FAITH IN ZAMBIA
God our father, your triune name
has been revealed to the ends of the earth. We thank you for the faith,
perseverance and passion you gave to the first Catholic missionaries. Their
zeal carried them on in spite of the rough seas, deserts, jungles, deadly
diseases and human hostilities. We thank you Lord that through the early
missionaries you freed us from both the spiritual and physical bondage. In
thanksgiving, help us to leave behind our old leaven which may prevent us from
knowing and loving you dearly.
Reward all those who died in the
cause of our salvation. May their zeal for souls live on in us so that we too
may be true, selfless and worthy missionaries in our time.
Help us Lord to move forward together
in love, to remain true to our Catholic faith brought to us through sacrifices
and sweat of our fore fathers in faith and may we be ready to die for it. Bless our country and all the people of
Zambia. May our celebration of hundred and tweny five years of faith be a time
of renewal, may it also bring more members to the fold.
Amen.
