Two weekends ago at Mass, all were invited to write the first names of those who they would like to take the next step in their walk with Jesus – whether by meeting Christ for the first time, returning to active participation in the Faith, or deepening their growth to holiness.
 
Young and old submitted names including some as “Mom” and “Grandpa” in a child’s handwriting.   Over 300 Cards were collected with over 1,200 names listed!
 
Today at the end of Mass, the cards were distributed to Parishioners.  If you took a card or two, THANK YOU for promising to pray for these individuals from now until Labor Day.
 
One prayer is fine for multiple names on the Card.  Please keep the cards in a convenient place to remind you to pray often.  After Labor Day, these Cards will be returned and a Community Prayer Service will be offered at that time.
 
May our prayers truly make a difference in the lives of these individuals – a conduit for a Holy Encounter

Cards are in the Baskets in the Church Sanctuary for your PRAYERS.  Pick one up if you haven’t already and pray, pray, pray!

Lord Jesus, you came into the world to heal our infirmities and to endure our sufferings. You went about healing all and bringing comfort to those in pain and need. We come before you now in this time of illness asking that you may be the source of our strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain. May we join ourselves more closely to you on the cross and in your suffering that through them we may draw our patience and hope.
