Prayer in Honor of St. Kateri Tekakwitha:

"Creator, we thank you for the gift that you have given us in Kateri Tekakwitha.  May we ever imitate her and keep you in front of our eyes, leading us on our sacred journey back to you.  May our daily works be pleasing to you as we reach out to others expecially our children, our elders, and our sick.  As You continue to bless her people, the First Inhabitants of North American, may all recognize the many gifts her people have to offer each of us.  Finally may our dying words be, like hers, "Jesus, I love you." We make this prayer in the name of You, the Great Mystery, our Brother Jesus, and the ever present Spirit who live as One surounding us in the circle of life."–Amen
