Let your every creature serve you;
for you spoke, and they were made,
you sent forth your spirit, and they were created;
no one can resist your word. (Judith16:13)

Blessed be God, the giver of salvation
who decreed that mankind should become a new creation in Himself,
when all would be made new.
With great confidence let us ask Him:
Lord, renew us in your Spirit. (from the interecessions from Morning Prayer)

Special Prayer Request

| | Comments (1)

From Marie MacFarlane's Sister, found on Fonticulus Fides. (Bai is Marie MacFarlane.)

I figured there is no further reason to delay in making a plea for your prayers. During their courtship and earlier years of their marriage Bud and Bai have appeared to all to be a devout Catholic couple.  But now, Bud is filing for divorce with no apparent interest in working for reconciliation, while Bai is leaving no stone unturned in her efforts to keep her family intact. 

Please pray for Bud that his heart will be softened and open to reconciliation, for Bai that she would know what is the most wise and loving course of action, and for their four young boys who are caught in the middle of this sad situation.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.
He has raised up the sign of salvation in the house of his servant David,
as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones, his prophets through the ages:
to rescue us from our enemies and all who hate us, to take pity on our fathers. . . (Luke 1)

This just in from Smockmomma:

Kirsten, "SpecialK" of the Summa Mamas, delivered her fourth child, Sophia Claire, this morning. There were no complications and Mommy and Baby are both doing well.

And a name like "Luminous Wisdom" bodes well for the young 'un. Praise God for His endless mercies.

Emergency Prayer Request

From an e-mail correspondent--

Could you include Gregory Nemiroff in your prayer requests? He was rushed into the hospital this morning due to an artifical shunt malfunction and is undergoing emergency brain surgery as I write this. Thanks.

Please pray.

On the Prayer Requests

|

Please remember that the prayer requests extend to another page (click the link at the bottom). I prepare the requests each day before morning prayer, so every one of them is prayed for in the intentions of morning prayer. I try to review them every evening before evening or night prayer, so I try to include these intentions twice each day in the course of the Liturgy of the Hours. I don't ask anyone else to do so, but I do want everyone who is on the list to know and rest assured that everything here is prayed for at least once a day and normally twice a day. (Even on the weekends, when I do not post, I remember the intentions here and of the St. Blogs Community). Just keeping you up-to-date on the commitment to prayer. (Also, I am certain that there are members of the community who do not comment but remember these and all the other intentions unwritten and unspoken each day in their prayers.)
