Prayer to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha St. Kateri Tekakwitha, favored child and Lily of the Mohawks, I come to seek your
intercession in my present need: (mention it). I admire the virtues which adorned your
soul: love of God and neighbor, humility, obedience, patience, purity and the spirit of
sacrifice. Help me to imitate your example in my state of life. Through the goodness
and mercy of God, Who has blessed you with so many graces which led you to the true
faith and to a high degree of holiness, pray to God for me and help me.
Obtain for me a very fervent devotion to the Holy Eucharist so that I may love Holy
Mass as you did and receive Holy Communion as often as I can. Teach me also to be
devoted to my crucified Savior as you were, that I may cheerfully bear my daily crosses
for love of Him Who suffered so much for love of me. Most of all, I beg you to pray
for me that I may avoid sin, lead a holy life and save my soul. Amen.
