Founder of the Knights of Columbus

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor.  Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church.  Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast.  We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will.  Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request). Through Christ our Lord. 

Amen

Join Bishop Boyea in reading through the Holy Bible starting this Advent and continuing through the next 12 months.  Together, it will be our Year of the Bible.  Each day, Bishop Boyea will text you a chapter of Sacred Scripture directly to your cellphone.  We will then read it and meditate upon it. Over the weeks, he will also text you invitation to events; share video reflections with you; and let you know about other Year of the Bible updates. To sign up, simply text BYOB, which stands for Bishop’s Year of the Bible to 84576.  If you would like to receive the Bishop’s message via email, visit:  www.dioceseoflansing.org/byob and click on the sign-up icon.
