Prayer for 2025

Dear Lord,

Thank you for helping us to make it through 2024.  Thank you that you have been there for us through all the uncertainty that 2024 has presented. We are constantly aware of how much we need you, your grace, your strength, your power working through even the toughest days.

As we prepare for 2025 we look to You for our hope, joy, and peace. Give us the courage to carry out Your will.  Show us how to walk in Your grace and embrace Your love.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen

A FAMILY PRAYER

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we humbly invoke you as our most loving and powerful Protectors.

To you we have recourse in all our wants, in all our trails and afflictions; and we implore you to take us,

and all Christian families, under your special protection.

May you be ever honoured and loved, blessed and praised, by us and by all mankind.

Amen

Morning Offering

 God, our Father, I offer you my day.  I offer you my prayers, thoughts, words,

actions, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus.

Help me to discern the movement of the Spirit in my heart, that I may respond generously to your call.

May the Holy Spirit, who guided Jesus,

be my guide and my strength today so that I may witness to your love.

 Amen  

 

PARISH PRAYER

God our Father, bless our Parish of the Sacred Heart so that we may love you more.

Help our parents to give good example to their children and our youth to grow in strength as good Christians.

Encircle our families with your loving care.

To the sick grant health, to the aged bring serenity and to those in sorrow, joy.

May each parishioner grow stronger in faith And may our love for one another become deeper in our daily living.

We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

 PALM CROSS

courage in my spirit and patience in my pain.

Amen
