Heavenly Father: We pray that the Church may strive toward supporting its neurodivergent members through the holy example of Saint Thorlak. May the Church follow his pattern of hospitality and humility in building communities where the autistic members of the Body of Christ may thrive, lead, and receive the spiritual nourishment of belonging. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord: Amen.
