O God of justice and mercy, we remember before thee thy servants Peter Williams Cassey and Anna Besant Cassey, who, in the face of slavery and discrimination, gave the blessings of education and spiritual haven to the marginalized; Grant us to be fearless in the face of injustice and to work for blessings that will touch those whom the world does not count of value; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. Amen.
I Almighty and everliving God, who didst open the heart of Kateri Tekakwitha to receive the Good News of Jesus Christ and to devote her life to thy service: Grant us the same zeal of devotion to persevere in faith through the trials and tribulations of our lives, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
