In deciding to become a catechist,
you have answered God's call, the call of your baptism.
You have made an important decision, one that will enrich your life.  

Lord, you have given me the ministry to teach these young people.
Give me also a joyful and grateful heart to sing your praises.
Hear my words of thanks and my cry for help as I accept this opportunity to serve you.
Amen
