WEEKLY PETITIONS
for the week of
October 25


We know that God responds to faith-filled prayer.  So let us cry out with confidence to God with the needs of our world.


That Pope Benedict XVI,
Bishop Campbell, and all ordained to the priesthood will continue to serve and lead the Church with humility, passion and love,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 


That one day all people of the world will love one another and that no person will be seen as outcast,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 

That those who work in healthcare may continue to be blessed in their work to benefit those who are ill,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 

That those seeking to enter the Church will grow in faith and so come to see the power of God’s grace in their lives,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 

For all the sick and suffering, especially Tom Sparks, those on our monthly prayer list, and those who feel ‘OUTCAST’, that they will experience healing and comfort,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 

For all those who have left
this world, especially Mary Ann Martin, Susan Reese, and Christopher Leonard, husband of Lauren Rowland, that they are home in the heavenly kingdom,
                                                         we pray to the Lord… 

God of compassion, hear the prayers we offer this day.  Give sight to your faithful people, and enable us to follow your son, Jesus Christ, who is Lord forever and ever.

AMEN
