Please keep our Confirmation 2 students and the Retreat Team in your prayers as they have their Confirmation 2 Retreat this weekend at Camp Mokule'ia in Waialua.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for a beautiful weekend and for another opportunity to be teachers, brothers, sisters, and students to one another. We ask for your protection over all who are participating in the retreat. For it says in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in [Your] name, there [You are] in the midst of them". We ask that everyone have an open heart and an open mind so they may receive all of your blessings and grace. Guide them closer to you. Allow them to be open to the power of Your love as they grow in their faith. "For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love" (Galatians 5:6). Let the leaders be a light for the confirmandi. Give them confidence in sharing their stories and make their words Your words, as the Lord said to Paul, "Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you" (Acts 18:9-10). May they also remember the rules of leadership: to have no complaints and be flexible. We ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, with the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and all the angels and saints... AMEN!
