The Feast of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order
Triduum Day 2
Lord Jesus, you called your disciples to leave everything and follow you as fishers of men. Our Seven Founders also set aside everything and followed the Gospel way of life through the inspiration of the Sorrowful Mother.
We pray that we, as your servants who celebrate their feast day, continue to be courageous witness to your great love through our love and service, through our fraternal way of life, and through following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, standing at the foot of our brothers and sisters who are still suffering in our world today.
May Our Lady intercede for us, as she did for our Seven Founders, that as her servants, we may bring many of her children closer to her Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen.
