We pray with the Church and the world
For the Pope’s intentions this month:
That there may be an
increase in the number of those who volunteer to serve the Christian community
with generosity.
That the World Youth Day in
Sydney, Australia may inspire young people and make then the seed of hope for a
new humanity. See prayer on back page.
July 11 is World Population Day. Pray for governments and
organizations who make decisions about all that is necessary to sustain
ordinary human needs.
We
pray with the Institute
For the Australian province with many
involved in the Magis 08 program prior to World Youth Day.
May the program be greatly blessed and many young people from our
schools and networks enjoy meeting each other.
For a small gathering of Mary Ward International chairpersons in Melbourne from July 29 – 31
as they attend to common concerns and projects.
We support with prayer those who agreed to
serve on committees to forward the actions of GC 06 – a group working on
conflict resolution and another group attending to a review of Tertianship.
For all who have
experienced recent losses or changes in their lives. May they find support and strength in the
certainty that God will be their constant loving companion.
One
Small Voice
God of Life,
we gather under the sign of the
Southern Cross
and turn to you in prayer.
Give us generous hearts,
open to the graces with which you
wish to bless us:
the grace of joyful companionship with one another and with
Jesus;
the grace of deep spirituality,
'to grasp how wide and long,
how high and deep is the love of Christ';
the grace of loving service
in which you call us to give
'more' of ourselves.
We ask this in the name of
Jesus the Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of the Way, Mary Aikenhead,
St Madeleine Sophie Barat, Marie
Madeleine d”Houet, Mary
Ward and Ignatius Loyola
Pray for us.
