Prayers to St. Charles Borromeo
Patron of Catechists
Patron of Learning & the Arts

to
As Saints of Old Their Firstfruits Brought

O Saintly reformer, animator of spiritual renewal of priests and religious,
you organized true seminaries and wrote a standard catechism. Inspire all
religious teachers and authors of catechetical books. Move them to love
and transmit only that which can form true followers of the Teacher
who was divine. Amen.

Almighty God, you have generously made known to human beings
the mysteries of your life through Jesus Christ your Son in the Holy Spirit.
Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries which your Church treasures and teaches. Move my heart to love them and my will to live in accord with them.
Give me the ability to teach this Faith to others without pride,
without ostentation, and without personal gain.
Let me realize that I am simply your instrument for bringing others to the
knowledge of the wonderful things you have done for all your creatures.
Help me to be faithful to this task that you have entrusted to me. Amen.

feast day: November 4
