- As Daughters, we pledge ourselves to a Rule of Life – a lifetime of daily prayer and service and personal evangelism.
- We are young and old, rich and poor, beautiful and plain, community leaders and quiet women, doctors, teachers, secretaries, executives and housewives, sinful and wavering, generous and strong
WHAT DO WE DO?
We vow to pray daily for the spread of Christ’s Kingdom, for God’s blessing on the work of our Order, for the spiritual growth of our parish. We have undertaken many projects in the Church and community.
We invite you to join us in Prayer
The Prayer of the Order
O eternal Father,you have sent your Son to teach us things pertaining to
your heavenly kingdom.
Give your blessing to our Order, wherever it may be throughout the world.
Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth
and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life.
Give us strength to overcome temptation
and the grace to work to spread your kingdom
and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold.
Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit
that we may always remember it is your work we are called upon to do,
that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight.
We ask it all for His sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
