Our Lady of Hope Sebastian Rale, S.J. Prayer Circle
St. Ignatius said we should work as though it all depends on us and pray as though it all depends on God. I hope these Prayer Circle intentions can be an expression of our awareness of our need for God’s grace. Each month we join with our global family in praying for Pope Francis’ prayer intention for that month. We pray also for our parish, school and other needs of our greater community and Church. Praying for our parish and world is an important ministry and one that some of us who are not able, because of time, health or other limits, to be active in other ways. Thank you for your prayers for our parish, our school, and the world. Fr. Paul, S.J.
We pray:
-
- For the spiritual health, vitality, and financial support of Our Lady of Hope Parish and St. Brigid School.
- Pope Francis’ Monthly Prayer Intention for March: for victims of abuse. We pray for those who have suffered harm from members of the Church; may they find within the Church herself a concrete response to their pain and suffering. Hear Pope Francis talk about this month’s intention in this video from the Vatican.
- We pray that our Lenten prayer and acts of sacrifice and service help not only ourselves and those we may touch directly, but that the prayers and works of all people of faith throughout the world this Holy Season may move the hearts of world leaders and people of power to bring peace and justice and human respect to our world. It can be done. Let us pray.
