Prayer Intentions

  • The spiritual family is not restricted to blood relations but open to all who live according to the Word of God.

    We pray:

    • that we might show the same compassion as Jesus did for the poor, the neglected and the marginalised.
    • that we are able to trust in God in good times and in bad, knowing that it is the Cross that leads us to eternal life.
    • that in a world full of hardship and shame, doubt and fear, we find hope in the power of the ‘mustard seed’ of faith.
    • for the wisdom and clarity to make wise decisions in the Lakeside Pastoral Council Elections. May God bestow his grace on those elected.

    May we open our minds and hearts to God’s blessings, His loving presence and the protection of the Archangels. In humility may we offer our intentions to God and trust in His warm embrace.
