Prayer for Parish Mission
Today I spoke at seven Masses between St. Vincent Ferrer and All Saints, to see if I could drum up some business for the Mission this week. Time will tell and your prayers that I can, with the Lord’s help, pull this off. Here is a prayer I wrote for the Holy Card that I handed out today
Heavenly Father, in this Holy Season of Lent we call to mind our sins and the things that prevent us from loving you withour whole heart and soul. We are burdened with many cares and concerns that drain our bodies and weaken our souls.
Send us the Holy Spirit to fill us with a living hope. May this hope help us to let go of the past and keep our eyes on the future. May this hopeturn our focus from the passing things of this world to the lasting and higher things of heaven. May this hope help us to remember that you have promised to bring all the good you have begun in us to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
Instill is us a strong faith and an ardent love. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who died for our sinsand rose from the dead that we may share his everlasting life. Amen.
Please pray for all priests and Seminarians, and support Sacred Heart Radio.
