We pray with the Church and the world
That people with learning disabilities be loved and respected so
that they can live life to the full.
(Apostleship of Prayer)
That Institutes of Consecrated Life, faithful to the radical
choice of the Gospel, bear witness to the ends of the earth.
(Apostleship of Prayer)
(2nd Feb: The Presentation of the Lord)
World
Cancer Day is marked to raise awareness of the global impact of cancer and
increase understanding of prevention, detection, treatment and care. We pray
for all those we know living with the challenges of cancer and all who care for
them.
(4th Feb: World Cancer Day)
For
all who work with the sick and elderly. May God bless them with understanding, compassion and gentleness in their ministry.
(11th Feb: Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes)
We
pray with the Institute
On February
1st the 40th Session of CEDAW (Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women)
completes its meeting in Geneva.
Our Call 3 says our
action will be to challenge the misuse of power, especially as
it affects women in the church and world. Let us pray for our sisters who work in this field, especially
those who are threatened and endangered for the stand they take.
That
as we attend to the deeper place to listen to the passion of God
and wrestle with the meaning of religious life today (Call 1) we will
take time to stay in the silence so necessary to hear the whispering of God in
our situations today.
One
Small Voice
Lord, lover of life,
you know the depths
of
my innermost self,
and you understand
me.
You protect me on
every side,
shielding me from all
harm.
When you put me
together
carefully
in my mother’s womb,
you knew all about
me.
I thank you for
the wonder of myself
and I stand in awe
at all that you have
made.
Guide me in your
ways.
From
Psalm 139
