The importance of prayer
At MaterCare, we know that prayer is at the heart of our mission. It strengthens us, guides our work, and unites us with one another in faith and hope. Every mother, every child, every family we serve is lifted up in prayer, as we seek God’s blessing and protection for those most in need.
​
We also believe in the power of a praying community. When we pray together, we share each other’s burdens, celebrate each other’s joys, and witness the ways God moves in our lives.
​
If you have a special intention, we would be honoured to pray with you and for you. Please share your prayer request by clicking the button below—our community will keep your needs close to heart.

The MaterCare Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You sent your only Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
into this world as a child born of woman.
Send your Holy Spirit upon all members and
friends of MaterCare around the world.
May we see in every woman with child, an
image of your Holy Mother, Mary Immaculate
and, in every child, from the moment of their
conception, the image of Our Lord and saviour
Jesus Christ.
​
Give us the Holy Virtues, especially compassion,
prudence, wisdom and mercy, so that we may
serve you worthily in them.
Bind us together in the bond of love in this
mission, so that the Gospel of Life may be
proclaimed and practiced throughout the world.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen
