Tuesday September 26th, 2006 - Prayer of the Week - on Luke 5:1-11
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord, You commanded apostle Peter to return to fishing after he
caught nothing. He doubted but was obedient to Your command. You revealed Your divinity
by turning Peters failure into a great success by the number of fish he caught. Because
of this miracle, Peter changed his life to followed You. Grant that we overcome our
doubt and be faithful so You can turn our failures into success. May we develop the
faith of the Apostles so we can become fishers of all people who are seeking the way,
the truth, and the life. We pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
Wednesday September 20th, 2006 - Prayer of the Week - on Mark 8:31-9:1.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord You require us to take up our cross and follow You. We must
deny ourselves to be considered one of Your disciples. We fear the second death because we
are consumed by worldly pleasures. As we begin anew this Church year, grant us the
strength to carry our cross and deny the passions of the flesh. May we open our hearts
so we can live in the spirit not gaining the world and loosing our soul. We pray in the
name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thursday September 14th, 2006 - Prayer of the Week - on the Nativity of Mary.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord Your plan to save us began with the birth of Your Holy Mother.
She was the fulfillment of the law and the prophets of the Old Covenant. She was a gift
to her parents in their old age because they were so generous in the support of your holy
temple. Help us to learn the meaning of giving so we will support the work of Your church
to bring comfort and healing to ourselves and all who call out to You in prayer. We pray
in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit Amen.
