"Whosoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The father will honour whoever serves me."  - John 12:26

Prayer is an integral part of our ministry. Please keep the NET teams, NET staff and the young people on retreat in your regular prayer. It is God’s grace that allows us to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to young people. Your prayers make a difference!

We rely on prayer as a staff, gathering to pray each morning for the ministry, our friends and supporters, and for their intentions.

Each day the teams also gather to pray together, as well as spend personal time in prayer. While traveling, the NET teams pray one-on-one with each retreatant and with the parish contacts and diocesan contacts they are able to meet. Team members also pray for and desire to pray with their host families.

The NET Teams do wonderful work and we are thankful for the gifts God has provided to this ministry. We realise that it is only through His grace that the hearts and lives of retreatants are changed.

The Breastplate of St. Patrick

I arise today through God's strength to pilot me: God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me, God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me, God's word to speak for me, God's hand to guard me, God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me, God's host to save me, from snares of demons, from temptations of vices, from everyone who shall wish me ill, Afar and anear, alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils, against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul, against incantations of false prophets, against black laws of pagandom against false laws of heretics, against craft of idolatry, against spells of witches and smiths and wizards, against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ to shield me today, against poison, against burning, against drowning, against wounding, so that there may come to me abundance of reward. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. I arise today, through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,Through belief in the threeness, through confession of the oneness, of the Creator of Creation.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
