Monday February 24th, 2003 - Prayer of the Week on the Prodigal Son - Luke 15: 11-32
Let us Pray to the Lord. Lord have Mercy.
O Lord You are calling us each day to come to ourselves. Your are
waiting for us to return with a ring and a banquet. We are being torn between our faith
and the winds of false doctrines. We are tempted to place our faith only in the great
advances of modern science. We are tempted to exchange truth for a lie and worship and
serve as an idol, the material world. We pray that You do not give us over to the lusts
of the flesh but will enlighten us as the Prodigal Son so that we return to You as our
Father. We pray in the name of the father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

Luke 18: 10-14 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee
and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I
thank You that I am not like other men; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess. And the tax
collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his
breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!" "I tell you, this man went down to his
house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Let us Pray to the Lord. Lord have Mercy.
O Lord, Great Lent is just around the corner. You have given us this
season to help us transform our lives. As Zacchaeus was convicted of his sinful ways and
climbed the tree of virtue so may we cast off all of our greediness and distributed our
wealth to the poor. Enter, O Lord, the house of our souls and bring us salvation as you
did when you entered the house of Zacchaeus. We offer You thanksgiving for You
condescended to eat and drink with sinners. We pray in the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Lord, remember the souls of Your servants: Rick, William, Michael,
Kalpana, David, Laurel, and Ilan and of all our fathers, brethren and sisters who are
fallen asleep in the hope of the Resurrection and life everlasting; pardon their
transgressions, both voluntary and involuntary. Grant them Your Heavenly Kingdom, and a
portion of Your eternal blessings, and the enjoyment of Your unending and blessed Life for
You are a merciful God and unto You we give Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
