WE OFFER YOU ALL WE HAVE AND ALL WE ARE
(TOBIT 13.1, 6A)

Let us pray +
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O my Jesus, I place my trust in you.

Blessed be God who lives for ever.
If you turn to him with all your heart and with all your soul,
to do what is true before him,
then he will turn to you. (Tobit 13.1, 6A)

(pause for a moment of silent reflection)

Encouraged by your words we now ask for the grace of perseverance (not giving up hope). It has been a hard school year but we know you are with us always.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, full of compassion and love, have mercy on us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Nicholas Jesson is the ecumenical officer for the Diocese of Regina and he has written a blog for Salt & Light Media entitled COVID and Christian Unity | One Body. We at St. Francis of Assisi Parish have long been committed to working and praying with our ecumenical brothers and sisters, and so we invite you to read this blog today.

Covering our Region in Prayer

On Sunday afternoon we’re going to cover Waterloo Region in prayer from park to park to park.

Please grab some friends and/or family (up to the public outdoor gathering limit of 5) and head to a park near you and you’ll be joining with others from all across the Region doing the same thing, praying in unity. A video will lead us as we pray. It will premiere on YouTube at 2 pm or you can download it beforehand (coming soon), if you want to watch without mobile data.

See how you can participate and help cover Waterloo Region in Prayer. How will we know what God is calling us to do, unless we ask? We want to see the Power of God transform Waterloo Region and all of Canada.
