Advent Prayer Straw
This year instead of having our Advent straw at Mass with which to pray, we will be including four new prayers in each weekend’s bulletin for you to choose from. Choose one of those options to pray for during the week.
Although we might not physically be placing the straw in the manger to provide a warm place for baby Jesus, we are providing a beautiful place in our hearts for Him to call home.
Week One:
1) For perseverance for those who work with COVID-19.
2) For those who give their lives protecting peace in our community and throughout the world.
3) For peace, dialogue and understanding in our world.
4) For teachers who pass along wisdom as well as knowledge.
Week Two:
1) For those grieving the loss of loved ones.
2) For people to find God's peace and mercy in the sacrament of Reconciliation this Advent.
3) For those suffering illness, particularly COVID-19.
4) For growth in love for all families.
Week Three:
1) To remember the true reason for the Advent and Christmas season.
2) For the sanctity of life fro conception to natural death.
3) For the Church, Pope Francis and all our clergy.
4) For Holy Redeemer to continue to provide a safe environment for all of our youth.
Week Four:
1) So we may be good stewards of all that God has blessed us with.
2) For safe travels for those who are traveling over the holiday season.
3) For Fr Jason, our Holy Redeemer Parish and staff.
4) For the world to turn back to God during this Covid Pandemic
