Prayers Of The Faithful – January 30

For Pope Francis as he asks us to pray for peace, especially between Russia and Ukraine.
We pray to the Lord.

For Bishop Christian and our Diocesan family as we look to the ending of strict COVID protocols and invite others to join us as we encounter Christ in the Sacraments and in our service to others.
We pray to the Lord.

For reconciliation among all cultural and ethnic groups within our country and for a generous effort by people of faith to see Christ in people who are different from ourselves.
We pray to the Lord.

For each person and every family burdened by harsh winter weather and now challenged by rapidly rising food prices and unjustified large increases in rent and housing.
We pray to the Lord.

For unborn children and mothers in distress and for people who work tirelessly to serve them and protect them.
We pray to the Lord.

For people who are ill at home or hospital and for residents of nursing and special care and for each person who feels alone and forgotten and discouraged by the challenges each day brings.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died: Alma LeBlanc, Tom Isaac, Noel Horgan, Mary Frances (Donovan) Maloney, Donald Keoughan, Reuben Doucette, Rita Arsenault Conway, Margot Catherine Allen; and for people in mourning.
We pray to the Lord.
