SDC PRAYER
REQUESTS
Please add the following intentions to
your prayers:
It is with our deepest sympathy that we
inform you of the passing of Father Gerald J. Fitzpatrick, S.J. Father Jerry
was a well loved Spiritual Director at Loyola on the
Long time SDC member Sharon Abel died
Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012.
Please pray for former SDC Deanery
Chairperson, Bill Maloy, who died last August.
He was a long-time member of SDC and was married to another SDC member,
Mary Lehman. Father Vince, welcome him
home.
Please pray that Pope Francis, Cardinal
Donald Wuerl and all bishops and clergy are filled with the same compassion in
ministering to the separated and divorced that Our Lord felt for the woman at
the well when he founded our ministry.
Please pray for all of the separated
and divorced who are unemployed, that they may find work that fully utilizes
their skills and justly compensates them.
Pray that
all children especially those bereaved children out there, that have suffered
the loss of a parent and also a step-parent by divorce, will heal with their
grief and their loss of love. And that all anger will release from
the biological parent not to use their children as a form of revenge to
the other parent.
Please pray that those of us who are
separated and divorced are able find the compassion necessary in our hearts to
forgive our spouses and ourselves for the rending of our homes and families.
Please pray for the children of
separated and divorced parents. May God provide these parents the wisdom
to always put the feelings of their children and their futures first.
Please pray for all young widows and
for their children. May God give them the strength to deal with the
unexpected loss of their beloved spouses and remind them of His love and special
compassion for them and their children.
Please pray especially for all of our
Service men and women overseas who are going through the added trial of
separation and divorce that the Lord may bring them comfort and that they may
find understanding and compassionate friends.
