Prayer Intentions

  • We are not the owners of our lives and possessions.  Everything that we are and have is a gift.  We need to be mindful of how we use our life talents and possessions not only for our good but also for the good of others.

    Each of us has been gifted by God with a uniqueness with a personality, with aptitudes, skills and talents with a particular way of being and doing – all of which makes up this special person, different from any other person who exists, has ever existed or will exist. Let us recognise the gift of God in one another.

    We pray:

    • for the Holy Spirit’s guidance for the Vision Team as they plan a future for our Parish.
    • for the children staff and youth returning to study and settling into Term 3.
    • for those going to World Youth Day that they be safe and have time for growth in their existing and new relationships. 
    • that some among us will respond to the call for volunteers needed for Sunday Mass.
    • for courage to face the challenges that come from living our faith, as we strive to build the kingdom of God here on earth and to make the love of Jesus better known – even in the face of opposition and hardships.
    • for the seriously ill who suffer and for those for whom there is little hope.
    • that we never tire of asking Jesus for the gifts of faith and humility rather than for answers and proofs. 

    Amen
