The grace of God has come to us, and so with confidence in God’s generosity we give voice to our needs and the needs of our sisters and brothers.
- For the repose of the souls of +Peggy Crane and +Carol Stueber ...
- For the spiritual and temporal intentions of Dcn. Ron Bosi, Kelly Stark, Kyle Halliday, Alicia Boyd, Bill Sovine, Robbie Gilliam and James Denson and all those already on our prayer list...
- For all who are ill or suffering...
- For all of us, the Church, that we may realize the call we received in baptism and may, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, bring light to all who dwell in darkness in every nation, in every age...
- That government leaders may use their power to advance justice and promote peace in the nations and communities they lead...
- For all who suffer from a shortage of clean water, that this precious resource may be shared fairly and equitably....
- For all who prepare adults for initiation or parents whose children will be baptized, that they may be blessed in their ministry...
- That we may all realize our baptismal calling to minister to others and that many may respond to that call through ordained and lay ministry...
- For all the prayers that we hold in the silence of our hearts; for all our intentions spoken and unspoken...
let us pray to the Lord.
Heavenly God,
may you be pleased with us, your baptized children,
and bless us with your generosity,
through him whose baptism we recall today,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Loving mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,
assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again.
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
Yet remained a virgin after as before.
You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting,
have pity on us poor sinners.
The Mississippi law at stake in this case bans abortion after 15 weeks. The question before the Supreme Court is whether all pre-viability bans on elective abortions are unconstitutional.
We all need to pray without ceasing. And we need to tell our friends and church communities to join us.
With God, ALL THINGS are possible.
Each week we are contacted by people requesting prayers for specific people and intentions; those requests and some universal prayer intentions are then sent out in an email like this one to members of the Prayer Chain. If you would like to be the Prayer Chain coordinator who compiles the requests intentions and sends the weekly Flocknote email please contact Suzette Taylor in the Parish Office.
