PRAYER FOR HURRICANE SEASON

O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its calmness. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control – the Gulf of Mexico. Like a provoked and angry giant, it can awake from its seeming lack of energy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster.

During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies, whose memories are still so vivid, and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.

O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that, spared from the calamities common to this area, and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.

2nd Collection This Weekend

PRAYER FOR HURRICANE SEASON

O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its calmness. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control – the Gulf of Mexico. Like a provoked and angry giant, it can awake from its seeming lack of energy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster.

During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies, whose memories are still so vivid, and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.

O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that, spared from the calamities common to this area, and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.

Garry May II, Debbie Pennison, Shirley Verdin,
Patricia Kennedy, Keith Kennedy,
Frances Hilderbrand, Ecton Theriot, Jr.,
Dwight Clements, Dana Theriot, Jr., Judy Rink, Chad Manuel, Toni Stelly

Thank you for your constant prayers for those in our community who are sick. If you need prayers or know of someone who does, please call the rectory at 631-2333 to add their name to the list. Please get permission from the person before adding their name to the prayer list.
