The Finca’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, protector of orphans and all who depend on you, as we begin this day we turn our hearts towards you. We give thanks for the gift of your great love and for the chance to serve you in all that we do today.
We ask that your grace and mercy be poured out on our beloved Farm of the Child, on our children, on our house parents, on our Franciscan sisters, on our volunteers past, present, and future, on our board members, on our support personnel, on our benefactors, and on all whom we serve in Honduras through our various ministries.
As a member of this community entrusted with maintaining, protecting and strengthening this mission, I ask for the following in order to better carry out my responsibilities:
A humble heart free from the desire of being esteemed,
A meek heart that bears with everyone,
A patient heart happy in the most trying circumstance,
A peaceful heart at peace with self and others,
A heart poor in spirit detached from the things of this world,
A heart full of love that finds happiness in suffering with others,
A prayerful heart that loves to be in communion with you,
A holy heart whose only desire is that God may be known and loved by everyone,
A pure heart like Mary’s which seeks to love and serve God alone.
May we as a community be one in heart and mind so that we may help to bring about the Kingdom of God through your mission, Farm of the Child. Amen.
Let us seek Mary’s intercession by reciting one Hail Mary.
