Through the Intercessory Prayer Group, our parish community comes together each month in shared prayer. We invite you to pray the following prayers with us this month, either on your own or with us in the Adoration Chapel on Fridays at 7am.
As we return to school, may the Holy Spirit inspire, guide, and enlighten us as we seek to better understand the ways of The Lord and follow His path more closely.
Lord, we ask for your divine guidance to stimulate dialogue, reconciliation, and wisdom among world leaders in the Middle East and throughout the world. Soften their hearts and inspire decisions rooted in justice so they may end the conflict and violence to establish peace throughout the world.
May we pray for the cessation of language filled with anger, hatred, and division which often leads to violence which manifests itself with attacks against people in public, in schools, against churches, and in our homes. May we oppose this vitriol and violence by often praying, saying the rosary and openly practicing our faith in public, in private, in our schools, in our churches, and at home.
May the Holy Spirit bless, guide, and inspire our young men and women to discern and enter into the service of the Blessed Trinity to make His word known and His kingdom flourish here on earth. We pray for the Archdiocesan clergy to persevere leading us in the faith in these turbulent times.
May the Holy Spirit bless, guide, and protect those in Spiritual Warfare, that they be protected and defended in mind, heart, body and soul against the pervasive influence and evil of the devil, his demons, and his minions. May they proceed with the intercessions and protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, St Joseph, St Michael the archangel, and the heavenly host of angels.
For each of the many circles of the Altar and Rosary society, a backbone of the church, may they be guided and blessed by the Holy Spirit as they prepare and care for the church, organize and support the many church activities, and perform their angelic works of mercy throughout the year. For the upcoming women’s retreat, that it be inspirational, uplifting, enlightening, and bring its participants closer to God.
May God renew and breathe his Holy Spirit into all efforts of our Respect Life Ministry as they work to end child sacrifice and abortion and affirm the dignity for all human life, from conception to natural death. For the end of LGBT grooming, sterilization of our children, child and human trafficking and exploitation, and an end to drug trafficking.
For the Knights of Columbus as they continue their service to the Lord, continue their outreach activities for the handicapped, the youth, pro-life activities, and financial support for seminarians.
Come Holy Spirit, please bless, guide, enlighten and invigorate the parish renewal, including all who worship here, those who lead, those who serve, and all Catholics as we grow and find unity in the catechesis, understanding, belief, and practice of God’s word. May there be more awareness, participation, direction, and inspiration in all our OLF ministries and activities.
May our Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit pour down graces and blessings to heal and strengthen those who are on our parish prayer list and those in need in body, mind, and spirit. We ask that they may be healed, grow spiritually, and find comfort in following God’s word and love.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
