Language is the greatest barrier for a missionary who goes for evangelization in foreign countries. Many of them start to learn the language when they reach their mission area. Every language has its own specialties and difficulties to catch up with everyone. And the linguistic abilities vary in individuals. Hence while praying for the missionaries, we should have to pray for those who are in language studies now. Here the Catholic News shares a short prayer for the missionaries who are currently in language studies.
Prayer for Language Studies
Blessed Lord in Heaven, I want to pray for the missionaries who are currently in language studies. I pray You would grant them great wisdom and understanding in their studies. I specifically pray for those that are new to the field. It can be quite overwhelming in the beginning. I ask You to grant them an extra measure of peace, resolve, and understanding. Grant them success in their studies so that those You have called can know You. Amen.
