Boże, który jesteś zawsze miłujący, powołałeś Świętą Katarzynę Drexel, aby głosiła przesłanie Ewangelii i przyniosła życie Eucharystii ludziom czarnoskórym oraz rdzennym mieszkańcom Ameryki. Jej modlitwy i przykład pozwalają nam pracować na rzecz sprawiedliwości wśród ubogich i uciskanych. Wprowadź nas wszystkich do Eucharystycznej wspólnoty Twojego Kościoła, abyśmy w Tobie stanowili jedność. Spełnij to przez naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa, Twojego Syna, który żyje i króluje z Tobą i Duchem Świętym, jednym Bogiem, na wieki wieków. Amen.

Gdy sięga ona określonego poziomu, przelewa się w życie aktywne i czerpie pomoc oraz siłę z serca Boga. Tak święci przynieśli tak wiele owoców, i wszyscy jesteśmy wezwani do świętości. – Święta Katarzyna Drexel Ojcze nasz Zdrowaś Maryjo Chwała Ojcu Święta Katarzyno Drexel, módl się za nami!
