The Visitation community is called to Live Jesus in the midst of the world, a world acutely in need of prayers. The Visitation Salesian Network (VSN) invites students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumnae/i to unite our hearts in a collective Moment of Prayer for Racial Justice and Healing on Sunday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. EST/7:00 p.m. CST.  All are welcome to light a candle at their home and pray, confirmed in the knowledge we will be spiritually connected.

PRAYER

you created the one human family

and endowed each person with great dignity.

Aid us, we pray, in overcoming the sin of racism.

Grant us your grace in eliminating this blight

from our hearts, our schools, and our communities.

Fill our hearts with love for you and all our brothers and sisters.

Hear our calls for solidarity and healing.

Guide us to move our feet to action,

so that we may work to heal our land from racial injustice.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

St. Jane de Chantal and St. Francis de Sales, Pray for us.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, make our hearts more like yours.

“To carry God on the tongue with beautiful words, to carry God in the heart with beautiful affections, is not everything. We must carry him in our arms with good works.” 

– St. Francis de Sales
