Turibius de Mongrovejo, Bishop

A catechist and three adults share a quiet conversation around an open Bible in a parish courtyard.
May prayer nourish the patient work of teaching, listening and serving.

Commemoration: March 23

Lord,
through the apostolic work of Saint Turibius
and his unwavering love of truth,
you helped your Church to grow.
May your chosen people continue to grow
in faith and holiness.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
