Hyderabad and have traveled Pune, Nagpur, Mumbai, Gujarat,

MOST LOVING GOD, we humbly place our Campus Ministry into Your hands. We pray for our colleges, universities and all other
centers of learning so that You will raise Your apostles in these places. Let Your message of love bear abundant fruits among
the students, teachers and all the administrative staff in these institutions. Let there be an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit upon
them, so that many of them will accept Jesus as their Lord and Master and will come together to glorify Him. We make this
prayer with the intercession of our blessed mother. Amen
