POPE FRANCIS I

 

Father John Donia, Adsministor
Deacon Jack Boyle
Sister Nicoletta Maria RSM, Pastoral Ministry, Liturgy

PRAYER FOR THE HOLY FATHER:

 

O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all Your faithful people, mercifully look upon your servant [Francis I], whom You have chosen as the chief Shepherd to preside over Your Church. We beg You to help him edify, both by word and example, those over whom he has charge, that he may reach everlasting life together with the flock entrusted to him. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 

 

 

LET US PRAY FOR ALL OUR CLERGY

Let us pray for all our clergy, the greatest and the least, that God may always guide and keep His consecrated priests.

 

Without their words or their hands, if these things ever ceased, we would have no Holy Sacrifice, no Eucharistic Feast.

 

No Sacramental Jesus on our altars to adore, but just an empty chalice behind a golden door.

 

There would be no holy angels there in awe and adoration, if we had no priests to say the words of

Transubstantiation.

 

We still would have the temple, but we would not have the King.

 

Before a polished marble altar we would pray and we would sing.

 

No sacrifice, no sacraments, each with its special grace, could any loss as great as this befall the human race?

 

Priests bless our parents' marriages, baptize us after birth, anoint us with the holy oils when we are about to leave this earth.

 

Priests receive the power to forgive the wrongs we have done; when confessed with contrite heart, they are forgiven, every one.

 

Priests labor in the Mission fields in strange and distant lands, and heathen souls are made Heaven's heirs by holy priestly hands.

 

Let us pray for all our clergy, the greatest and the least, that God may always guide and keep His consecrated priests.

 

For if we lose these holy men whom Christ sent in His stead, we will also lose those precious gifts for which He died and bled.

 

- Hugh J. Sattler

PRAYER FOR POPE BENEDICT XVI

Lord, source of eternal life and truth; give to your shepherd, Benedict, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.

V. Let us pray for Benedict, the Pope.

R. May the Lord preserve him, give him long life, Make him blessed upon the earth, and not hand
Him to the power of his enemies.

V. May your hand be upon your holy servant.

R. And upon your Son, whom you have anointed.

Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be...

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, In solidarity with Our Holy Father.

GOD, PLEASE...

I asked God to take away my bad habits...
God said, "It is not for Me to take them away, but for you to give them up."
I asked God to grant me patience...
God said, "Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned."
I asked God to grant me happiness...
God said, "I give you blessings; happiness is up to you."
I asked God to spare me pain...
God said, "Suffering brings you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow...
God, said, "You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life...
God said, "I have given you life so that you may enjoy all things."
I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me...
God said "Ahhhhhh, finally you have the idea."
