Prayer for Sacramental Candidates

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the gift of faith and for the sacraments that draw us closer to You. We lift up to You all those who are preparing to receive Your holy sacraments. Grant them an open heart and a receptive spirit as they journey towards these sacred encounters with Your grace.

Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon them, guiding their thoughts and actions. May they come to know Your infinite love and mercy more deeply. Strengthen them in their resolve to follow You and to live according to Your will.

Bless their teachers, sponsors, and families who support them in their preparation. Grant them wisdom and patience as they accompany these candidates on their spiritual journey.

As they prepare to receive the sacraments, may they grow in faith, hope, and love. Help them to become faithful witnesses of Your love in the world. May their lives be a reflection of the light of Christ, bringing hope and joy to those around them.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
