Loving Father, we thank You for our benefactors, who generously support our Franciscan fraternity and mission. Through the intercession of St. Francis of Assisi, bless them and their families with good health, peace, joy, and abundant graces. Reward their generosity, strengthen them in times of difficulty, and welcome our departed benefactors into Your eternal Kingdom.
May we always remain grateful and faithful in serving You and our brothers and sisters, especially the poor.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
