Before the great decisions of your life, and before
your healing miracles, Jesus, you spent time in
prayer, sometimes for the whole night;
give us the grace to pray before the great
decisions of our lives, as well as a preparation for
the simple daily activities which are part of our
lives.
Sinners and the distressed came to you, Jesus, for
mercy and healing;
through prayer, form each of our families,
parishes and communities as centres of prayer,
that we will learn to forgive each other and to
heal the wounds of the heart.
On the Cross, Jesus, you forgave your enemies,
promised Paradise to the repentant criminal, and
surrendered your spirit to the Father;
may we receive the grace to die with prayer on
our lips, and may our fellow parishioners and
family members enter the Father’s heavenly
home.
At the request of the disciples, Jesus taught them
that prayer, loved by all Christians:
Our Father…

Week Three - Teach us to Pray
O God,
you have made of us a chosen race, a royal
priesthood;
may we always seek to follow your will
so that our lips may profess what our faith
declares.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son.
Amen
