For the church: that it may continue Jesus’ ministry of serving people in their life events, we pray:
For a deepening of faith: that we may be inspired by Mary’s words and seek to do whatever God asks of us, we pray:
For a greater recognition of the gifts God has given each person: that we may encourage the gifts of one another for the good of the Church and the whole human family, we pray:
For greater awareness of our limits: that we may recognize our need for God’s help and confidently call out to God as we face our challenges and shortcomings, we pray:
For all engaged and married couples: that they may be channels of God’s love to one another and signs of God’s loving presence in society, we pray:
For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers. May they be healed by God’s loving touch, including, John Ramberg, we pray:
For those who have died. May they find comfort in the arms of God, especially, Pris Pawlikowski, the sister in law of Dardra Pawlikowski; Eileen Freeman, and Bill Schulz, the father of Stephanie Selisker, and for those who mourn the passing of loved ones, we pray:

O God, your love for us is a never ending abundance. Hear our prayers that one day we might share forever in the glory of your heavenly wedding banquet. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
