Prayers of the Faithful for Sunday, May 11th (Vigil: Saturday, May 10th)



1. That mothers and fathers encourage their children to consider the consecrated life and religious vocations;

2. That Christian writers use literature to defend and promote the values of the human person;

3. That those who have more money than their needs require allow the Holy Spirit to guide their financial choices;

4. That the efforts of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul be effective in helping to lighten the burden of the poor;

5. That the members of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette embrace Christ's commission to bring the world to a greater acceptance of the value of personal selflessness and adherence to the golden rule;

Then pray for those who are sick, and those who have died.

=========================

Idea holding: That those who risk their lives for the freedom of our country know that they are appreciated.

Any more ideas from the peanut gallery (for next week)?

I think that what appear as many paths are, in reality, the same path.
