CUF Prayer

Prayer of Catholics United for the Faith

O God our Father, who sent Your only-begotten Son to suffer and to give His life for the life of His Church, rule, protect, and nourish her continually, we beseech You.

Teach us of Catholics United for the Faith to direct our zeal first of all to the renewal of our own hearts.

Then, if it be Your holy will to allow us to be in any way your instruments in the wider renewal of Your Church, give us the grace to know what services, small or great, You ask of us, and let the Holy Spirit teach us to perform them in obedience, patience, and charity, leaving entirely to You what fruits they may bear.

We ask this through the same Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of that Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

—H. Lyman Stebbins
Founder, Catholics United for the Faith

From Our Founder

If we are going to make good our promise to support the Pope and the teaching Church, we have to develop an influence working for the true renewal so urgently called for by the documents of Vatican II and by the Holy Father. The Holy Church is Christ�s Church; it is His to save, and He will save it-with our help if we give Him the help He wants, where and when He wants it. But we cannot take matters into our own hands. We have to listen to the Holy Father and fight the battle under him and in the way he decides it must be fought. And Rome has asked us to be very careful, very patient.
