Friday December 28th, 2007 - Prayer of the Week on Matthew 1:1-25
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
Let us pray to the Lord, Lord have Mercy.
O Lord You took on our human flesh, lowering Yourself to be born as a
babe. Your mother held You in her arms as You hold us and the Universe in Your arms.
You became flesh so we could become divine by adoption. You have given us everything.
As we celebrate Your miraculous birth and exchange gifts, may we remember your gift to
us and thank you with a life of faithfulness. We pray in the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thursday December 20th, 2007 - Prayer of the Week on the Sunday of the Forefathers
Let us pray to the Lord, Lord have Mercy.
O Lord You were the one son of a widowed mother. You selected
Your nephew John to care for her after Your resurrection just as your stepfather
Joseph cared for her before Your miraculous birth. Today we remember Your relatives
and we pray for our relatives so they will take up Your cross and follow You. We pray
in Your Holy and Honorable name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thursday December 13th, 2007 - Prayer of the Week on Luke 17: 12 - 19
Let us pray to the Lord, Lord have Mercy.
O Lord, You healed the ten but only one returned to give thanks. He
fell on his face and glorified God with a loud voice. We also give thanks to You with a
loud voice: clean us, heal us, and make us well. Strengthen our faith so that our love
for You, each other and for our enemies may be seen by all. We pray in the name of the
Father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
