THANKSGIVING

When we pray we need to give thanks to God for all things in our life. Being thankful is being grateful for God's protection, His provision, His blessings, and most of all for His Son.

FOR:
-Lauren...light and love of our life
-my family, parents, brother, sister and all members
-my friends
-my neighbors
-the compassion of St. Raymond's parishioners
-the many ministries of St. Peter's in the Loop
-for natures wonder...




AMEN

PETITION

The prayer of petition is when we ask God for the things we need, or think we need, in our life. Petitions are usually self oriented.

For healing after the worst loss...our precious Christine.
