PARISH PRAYER

Lord Jesus,
We ask You to bless the people of our parish.
Help us to know You in a new and deeper way.
Help us to listen to Your word in our daily lives.
In the power of Your Spirit, open our hearts to Your healing grace,
That we may be more faithful to following You,
“The Way, The Truth and The Life”.
Lord, bless all the families in the parish,
Especially those families that may be experiencing
Hidden and special difficulties.
Bless the children and the young people of the parish
And through the protection of Your Immaculate Mother,
Deliver them from the influence of evil.
Bless the old,
The lonely,
The poor and the sick,
The unemployed,
Those in need,
Those in sorrow
And those in despair.
Bless and protect, and bring back to the ways of grace,
Those who have lost their way.
May Your love be upon us, Lord, as we place all our trust in You.
