Almighty God!

Bless the Alexian Brothers and those who assist them in their ministry throughout the world—in Germany, Ireland, the United States, Belgium, the Philippines, and Hungary, who serve with dedication every day to help the needy, the homeless, and those who suffer. Fill them with courage and strength so that they may faithfully continue their mission. Grant them wisdom to radiate the light of love and goodness in every encounter. Help them to approach those they meet with patience and understanding, and to follow in the footsteps of your holy example. Strengthen their community and make them champions of love and hope in the world. Saint Alexius, teach us too how to live out brotherhood and service, and help us to live our presence in the world in Your spirit.

Bless this week, that every member of our order may be strengthened in faith and love!

Amen.
