In His Steps Prayer

"Walk with Blessed Juipero Serra as he traces our Lord's footstpes in search of workers for the vineyard."

Holy Spirit, you are the love and light of the world. Continue to give all Serrans the courage and generosity to respond ardently to your call.

With one voice now, all Serrans Say, "here I am Lord." Fire each of us with a renewed spirity and enthusiasm to work for vocations for our Church.

Deepen our commitment to the Serran mission that we may, indeed, walk "in his steps" on our journey.
