Prayer: Week of Sept 27, 2020

God Almighty, you who govern all of creation, have pity on us in this time of pandemic. We send our kids to school, but we fear illness. We visit our aging parents, but we fear illness. We show up to work, but we fear illness. At all times we worry and are powerless before a tiny enemy. Save us, Lord. Give us wisdom to endure well and to think of the needs of others before our own. Give us a holy fear, not of illness nor of death, but of the Almighty who is both Judge and Saviour. Amen.

Prayer: Week of Sept 20, 2020

Our Father who art in heaven, you who see us at all times, who are the Knower-of-hearts, forgive us our prideful and unworthy thoughts; guide us according to your will for our lives, according to your will for your Church, and according to the grace and gifts which you have given us. Be patient with us and open our eyes so that we may better see what you are working around us. Give us the courage to follow you every day. All for your glory, Lord. Amen.
