Loving God,
all the children, adults and families
who see the world through the window of autism.
May Your Spirit burn bright in them
and all who celebrate and honor
the richness of our diversity
during this Autism Awareness month of April.
Grant us, O Lord,
the wisdom
to see your image reflected
in all of our differences,
and to recognize the unique gifts
we each have to offer.
May the doors of ministry in our Church
Continue to open wide in welcome to all of God’s family.
We ask this in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
Distributed by,
One of the great sites that has plenty resources for autism and many other disabilities is the National Catholic Partnership on Disability (ncpd.org). At this time you can find the prayer used above, Mass petitions, and other files. (ncpd web page for Autism awareness)
The puzzle piece is a symbol used for autism advocacy and this stained glass piece reminds us to keep those affected by autism in our prayers.
