Prayer Petitions For February 4, 2020

Let us praise Christ who gives power and strength to his people, and let us entreat him with sincere hearts:
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

Christ, our strength, you called your faithful ones to your truth,
— mercifully grant them faith and perseverance.
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

Direct our leaders according to your will,
— and help them to keep us in peace.
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

You provided bread for the hungry crowd,
— teach us to share our resources with the needy.
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

Do not direct world leaders to give attention only to the needs of their own nations,
— but give them, above all, a respect and a deep concern for all peoples.
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

Grant blessed life and resurrection to our brothers who have fallen asleep,
— and may all those who have believed in you share in your glory.
Hear us, O Lord, and we shall praise you for ever.

Thursday Gospel Reflection: On Letting Go
One of the Gospels this week narrates how Jesus sends out the Twelve to carry out the ministry He has started. At the same time, Jesus gives them very specific and rather ‘unusual’ instructions — to bring with them only a walking stick, and to shake the dust off their feet in places where they find themselves unwelcome. In this 2018 Post, My Reflection briefly explores what those instructions practically mean to us as Catholics in present day, and how such directives from the Lord can spiritually guide us in our life journey.
