Prayers Of The Faithful – May 1

For Pope Francis, Bishop Christian and all the Bishops who have received the mandate and ministry of Peter and the apostles, that their love for Jesus may nourish their desire and effort to feed the Church with food that will last.
We pray to the Lord.

For our country, Canada, as we celebrate the feast of our patron, St. Joseph the Worker and Protector of the Holy Family, that his intercession may strengthen family bonds which our culture tries to weaken and destroy; and protect the vulnerable among us.
We pray to the Lord.

For continued efforts to end the senseless war against the Ukrainian people and for the rebuilding of the country and reunion of families.
We pray to the Lord.

For a renewal of prayer to Mary through the rosary during the month of May for the intentions of our children and grandchildren and for all unborn children and children who are hungry.
We pray to the Lord.

For anyone who is ill or awaiting surgery or treatment and for their caregivers and family.
We pray to the Lord.

For our faithful departed: Dan Pastirik, Pam Innes, Betty Wharton, Phillip Morris, John McNamara, Earl Francis, Kim Melanson, Marie Corkery; and for those who mourn them.
We pray to the Lord.
