LOTW PRAYER NEEDS

Ask and it will be given to you;

seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Mt 7:7-9 

 

 Fellow brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ, Jesus wants to be the Lord  of all aspects of our lives.  He offers to be the Lord of our wants and needs.  We ask you to join us in prayer for the following petitions.  Confident in His Love and Mercy, we place them before our Savior, Jesus Christ.  We ask the Holy Spirit to perfect our prayers and present them appropriately before the Father.  We ask our Blessed Mother to join her prayers to ours.  We ask St. Joseph for his intercession.

  • May every parish touched by the LOTW process increase in devotion to our Lord and be instilled with a burning desire to evangelize in their homes, parish, work places and community.
  • May the Holy Spirit strengthen and bless our priests.  May they grow in holiness and in their love for our Lord in the Eucharist.  May He support them in their ministry to us, and bring them to heaven.
  • May all of the sick and suffering members of our LOTW family find spiritual and physical healing.  May their sufferings be united as prayer to the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • May our Lord continue to bless our Holy Father Benedict XVI and our bishops with devotion, apostolic fervor, pastoral love and wisdom.
  • May there be an increase in peace and justice in our communities and throughout the world that imitates our Lord's Divine Mercy.

Given the growing size of our LOTW family, there is no practical way we could review, confirm and publish every personal prayer request.  However, we ask that you please send to us those petitions which are intimate to the LOTW Process in your parish (for example, upcoming retreats,  rekindle the flame events, etc.).  Prayer requests should include your name and phone number, as well as the name, city and state of your parish (remember, we have many parishes with the same name).  All prayer requests should be sent to Suzie McGinn: .
